any of those 3 would make viable racers!
There are some great racers in Texas, Birdman being one of them and not far from you.
check out the Lone Star Mower Racing Association at
www.lsmra.com.
the next 3 races are Marble Falls, Whitney and Ft. Worth.
Then they have several more around 2 hours from you this year!
GREAT year for you to join!
