Title: Newbie from Arkansas
Post by: WeedWhacker on April 22, 2014, 03:38:29 pm
Hello everyone! I would first like to thank everyone for this great site! I have popped in over the last few months to read and gather info...very informative. Though i will admit some of it is over my head  :bash:. I have a few basic questions to ask first and hope this is the place to put them, if not please excuse the mistake and direct to where i need to be. First question...what do yall mean by an Offy motor?? an offset twin cylinder maybe?? Also since i live in central Arkansas which association would be closest for me to become a part of? I tried to research it but came to dead sites and am still confused as i started  :confused:. All of them seem very far away for me. A link to it would be VERY appreciated.

Closest group to you is probably ARLMRA with home track in Bay. They have a Facebook page that will get you started. Welcome

It is not an Offy,It is very far from that,it is a oppy,a two cylinder Briggs and Stratton that is a flat head sometimes used as an anchor,not to offend Rooster

Where are you in central Arkansas. I am in Hope if it is not too far you could drive down to the Garage Mahal and check out some mowers. I am currently building a FXS. I have built every class from IMOW to B/P. I will help all I can. I have raced with ARLMRA they are a great bunch of folks.
