I agree there is no such thing as pretty safe . In seymour we go thru great links to remain safe on and off the track when it comes to the mowers.

I'm stuck in Connecticut....The schools here are not that  great..I'm doing online schooling for that reason.....I went to the drag strip back home nearly every weds. and sat. since I was  19 and I miss it bad....local circle tracks just are not doing a thing for me either..so I suggest any state but this one...CT is even worse than the state of confussion..

this is my sportsman but i took it to the local dragstrip today and ran several times while my son was in the other lane on his 4-wheeler( he is 8 and the 4-wheeler is a honda TRX90) unfortunately for him.... he lost. i never got it maxed out but it did run a 12.80e.t. at 50.33mph in the 1/8mile. i made one pass with my other sprocket and ran 50mph but never got out of 4th gear, with the peerless 700 tranny.

I get that question all the time and I don't know how to answer it. Our race distance is 150 Ft. on pavement. We use a flagman so we don't have any time slips. I did carry a GPS unit one day and got a top speed of 32 mph. That was with flathead briggs......I have an OHV in it now. I have only raced it one time with the new engine, but it feels good!!!

I don't have a clue how fast it would go if I just topped it out. I don't street race, I have no desire to take that risk, and I don't want to blow up or wreck my mower doing something that is frankly......silly.

Actually its as safe as your average round track racing. Its no different than the associations that race on road courses. Its in how you build them. In texas your average drag mower can't switch over and be a round track racer. You build it for one race type or the other not both thats how we keep it safe. AND ITS ONLY SILLY IF YOU CAN'T HAVE FUN..........AND ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE GUYS THAT DRAG RACE BIKES..
