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..

OOPs............I did not mean to ruffle any feathers. Let me be clear. I am a veteran of several forms of racing including drag racing bikes...and have dabbled in round track mower racing. I found that I am better at building than riding.

At the race distance of 150 ft. and top speed of 32 mph, yes, I too, believe it is safe. We must always keep in mind that we are talking about machines that were made to go around 5 mph. I see too many people come to the races with a 2 inch pulley and a string tied to the governor. Significant improvements in running gear, brakes, steering, ride height..........must be made to make these machines "safe". I have fully adjustable front steering on that mower and have had to tweek on it quite bit to make it stable at 32 mph. I feel like it will go quite a bit faster than 32 mph, but there is no need to find out.....that is not what I built it for. And it is VERY different from drag bikes....You start with a machine that was built to 150 mph....not 5 mph.

The question from Dankcorey22 was "how fast does that go?". I'll bet John Force has never jumped in his funny car to see "how fast it will go"...........That would be .............???? I tried to give him a thoughtful answer that would make him think. Sorry if I offended.

No offense takin madnax. I personally drag race and we take extreme percautions to be safe. And as far as John Force. I personally don't think he would see how fast his would go. Now the first lady of Drag Racing She would just to up the odds.............. Sorry IF YOU THOUGHT I WAS OFFENDED ITS JUST TOO OFTEN SOMEONE JUDGES THE SPORT BEFORE THEY GIVE IT A CHANCE......

Ok I just joined here. I am a  longggggg time drag racer, My camaro IROC-Z  went  9 flat at 154 mph in a  quarter mile. I just sold the car, so now i'm working on a tractor to go fast on. I pretty much sold the car because of nhra rules, and their wanting more money. Any way, I will go fast. No place here in Mich, to drag race, yet, but i'm sure I will find a place, one way or another. :D. I have changed pulleys, done a few changes. I will be ready to race very soon, We as drag racers need to  stand up and be counted  as racers. Hope to see you all at the starting line
2 nd place is the last loser

 I'm new here, but not new to dragracing. I just sold my Camaro IROC-Z race car, It went 9 flat at 154 mph in a quarter mile. So I need something fun and loud to do. I'm still working on it, but its already faster than anyone needs to be going on it. I am 110% in favor of safety anything. I'm still learning, but I already know its gonna be fun. Now I just need to  find others that think like a racer. (and I will). See you at the  finish line :D

Well next time you will know. It is not that big of a deal, you posted pictures that Heymow does not allow so a Moderator removed them.
What your races require is of no consequence to what you are allowed to post on Heymow!

Side note: You really should wear a neck brace!
