Don't be telling all our secrets George. LOL LOL 

I can do both.

When you go there they have there own crew,thats part of what you pay for.And you can bet it's done with high tech stuff.To hold a record of any kind it must be where it can be challenged by others.The salt flats from what my attorney has found out that will never happen,so theres no record as of now.I want to be challenged that gives me something to work towards.I have run speeds of 88 on a gokart track and 117 at our local air strip all certified by radar but no they want allow this anymore so that means off to the Texas Mile.Oh yea this was done on 1972 Huffy 5 hp engine torque converter drive.FX legal mower.Yea there v-twins out there that will run that or maybe more but will they handle at those speeds.Lots of changes to run sraight instead of left turns,30 plus years of drag racing and working with my JR dragster guys helps.It's very dangerous at those speeds I've been there thats why I have a driver now.We've been in wind tunnell with scales under our tires to see what little body movement does.I can't begin to explain that to you.I've been building engines since 1969,gokarts,bikes,JR dragsters and drag cars.I'm at retirement age now and thats one of my goals the land speed record along with over seeing my kart and mower shop.

Well said George his is not official,but we are going to the Texas Mile and ours will be official.We have already ran over 100 and was clocked by radar,but not the same as having it documented.I'm not taking anything from Bobby I think he did a good job.I will be running a 5 hp Huffy running ARMA Pro-X rules or as some of you may call it FX.The Huffy came with a 5 hp Briggs thats why I stayed with it,and no it's not a gokart engine the 5 hp horizonal shaft engines came on the reel type walk behind mowers.Some of you younger guys may not remember them. LOL 

The 5 hp briggs will be competive but it cost money to build and keep up.I run one in FX only because I have a kart shop and plenty of parts on hand.The one I'm running now is going on 3 yrs. running but not without a lot of attention.Theres no subsitute for cubic inches.So my advice is to start as big as your class allows.If you decide to run the 5 hp I'll be glad to help you in anyway I can,I been turning wrenches on them since 1970. 

I turn it 9800,not much torque so you got to twist it hard.

I'm a Kohler dealer and I can't get a new one for that,but I guess being in business for 36 yrs. I must me dealing with the wrong people.

I have two one 25 HP 1 1/8 shaft the other one is a 26 HP 1 in. shaft both run like new complete with starters.If interested call 478-956-3929
