« on: August 26, 2006, 12:40:40 am »
New to mower racing just built in the last 3 weeks turned great with the limited slip rear till bearing went out so i built a solid axle setup its a stock front end  welded and bolted. I have a 40 tooth rear 14 trans sproket 5 inch tranny pully and like 2.5 engine gonna get changed for sure 4 speed tranny and was gps clocked at 22.5 mph mower worked great on figure 8 track gettin it to slide around corners was a 1/4 mile but just turning around is a pain and  any suggestions would be appreciated a shorter track wouldnt work at all im sure

No problem, even if a guy isn't using one of our axles this knowledge would and will help any one that takes the time to work with it and thier mower to handle alot better.  If it helped even one racer I accomplished what I intended. To HELP!!! :wink:
