Hey Guys and Gals I need your help. I've joined the USLMRA and local club, read the rule book, searched the forums and bought a mower. My plan is to get it running and race ready, legal, safe cost consciously.

Since there isn't an official getting started guide, I thought this would also be helpful to other new guys getting started and in the same boat.

My plan is two staged; do minimum required to get on the track, then make improvements down the road.It is as follows:

IMOW Stage 1

Kill switch
Helmet & neck support
Cut and weld deck halves
Automatic throttle closing device
Double throttle return springs
Move throttle to steering wheel
Remount seat
Brakes
Fab fixed front axle
Change steering linkages to ball typ
Clamp all fuel joints
Reroute exhaust rearward & down
3" Numbers, visible all 4 sides
Secure hood
Touch up paint

IMOW Stage 2

Strengthen frame
Lower mower 4" /2.5" per rule
Spindles
Front end parts
Steering ball eye links
Repaint


Please share your thoughts. Am I on the right track?
