Hi I'm Rob,
I was looking for something that would, in terms of long term costs, be more budget friendly than the autocross racing that I do now. Racing karts and the required safety gear, cost more than my autocross car, including its maintenance and what few modifications I've done over the past 4 years!
I did a little research, found out about mower racing and, I picked up an old 80's murray 11 for free. I'm not sure if it'll work for what I need, I figured I'd get some opinions and learn a bit before I get any further than the tear-down.
