I've been reading, a lot. I know there are better motors and chassis to start with. I just want to make sure I get the chassis dialed in, brakes right etc, before building up a better motor. George lives about three hours from me and ec is about an hour. My only goal with this build is to teach my kids some more mechanic/welding skills and have fun with my family. I do look forward to going to the races and meeting everyone.

Just got a free craftsman dyt4000! 21 hp intek vtwin, should be a better starting point than the lt1000 with a 20.5 oppy and hydrostatic trans that I currently have.

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Hold out for a vanguard or just get a intek?

I've got a chance to get a 20hp intek for 125. Since I'm new to the mower world is that a decent price for a complete running engine? Or should I just hold out for a vanguard?

Honda and Clone Engines / Re: Predator 212 cam sprocket?

In the auto world you advance the cam to increase torque and retard it to move the powerband higher. One tooth would be way too much, usually 4-5 degrees is a lot with cam timing.

Thank you for the welcome George. I registered on that site as well. In case I missed it, is there a rule book for the BTMRA on that site I could download?

Just saying hi from the Nashville area. My wife and kids decided that they want a racing mower. There uncle has one they got to try and were hooked. So far I've got a craftsman lt1000 with a briggs 20.5 oppy and a hydrostatic trans and a bad front axle. I know I need to find a different transaxle but any other pointers I can get will be greatly appreciated.
