George,
I thought you would know that crowd. I had all ready heard that you helped them get to the front. Your exactly right about the competition These boys don't necessarily go for guts but they sure go for the glory.
By the we spoke on the phone you sold me my front end.
I had started my mower trying to make everyone happy but talking to some of the guys that are racing and looking at their machines (ditch the rear of the frame, lower the seat down below the tires, cut the fenders, change the wheel base, etc.) To be competitive and to stay legal I may have to build two mowers.
There building a new track of some sort of track at a motorX park near me rumor has it it will be a lawn mower track.
