Drag Mowers / Re: Hydrostat trans good or not?

I am very good freinds with the guy that runs our dragstrip as my father and I have raced there for 12 years or so. I have already talked to him and he is ok with it, I just need to get the build underway.

sorry for the last post computer wigged out on me. There is no type of mower racing in ohio (that I have found). Myself and some other guys would like to start a club in central Ohio area but first need to get a couple mower going to get more people interested. The rules page that was posted on here helps a lot now just comes the build and a somewhat good start to a build would be helpful. I have gathered the cart brakes and jr dragster rack and pinion steering for my ride, now I just need some help with the drivetrain. I have done a lot of looking through the forums and I cant find any driveline forums for drag racing. What would a good rear end ratio be? Would it still be smart to go with a 9 to 1 like the round track mowers? I know I'll have a lot of try and try again builds with testing just really need a base to start with. I have gathered a couple of good suggestions,wheelie bars and junk the hydrostat.
Thank you for everybody's input so far keep them coming and I will start posting pictures of the build hopefully to help out new racers in the future!!!!

Drag Mowers / Heads up fastest wins?
« on: December 11, 2008, 12:44:56 pm »
Do you all run heads up fastest wins or do you bracket race with timing system and dial ins?
What kind of prizes are given out to winners and runner up? What is a good entry fee and do
the racers get discounts for entering more than one class? Sorry not trying to play 21 questions
just cant wait to get something started in O-H-I-O   :woo:

Drag Mowers / Drag racing help anybody?

I am new to the Lawn mower racing world and would first like to start with a drag racer. I have drag raced cars nearly 10 years but now have 2 little kids and cannot go as much as wanted. I have a mtd mower and would like to first upgrade the brakes and steering (for saftey) then move to hp. I have spent 2 days reading through the forums but there is not a lot of help in the drag racing world. There sounds to be a lot of people on here with more knowledge about these mowers than I could ever think of, just wondering if the steering and braking systems would be close to the same between round track racing and drag racing. Thank you in advance for any input.
