find a way around, or through to find a hole, some kind of break that
would allow some space. Once something broke thru, I could be there to
take advantage. Then I would finish 7th instead of 10th." - Dubba G

The look on her face is priceless. It looks like she is saying "c'mon lets get this show on the road" or maybe even "Dad, when is my turn to drive this thing"...

Brian you did a heck of a job in Mn all weekend, I have a couple of blue stripes from ya on the back of my mower but then again Don has come yellow ones from me !   :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hopefully Mark will join us next year and we can get over there for a few as well.

Awesome racing and Good Luck if you get a chance to go to nats...

They are copies of Georges that he had made at his local machine shop.  Only difference is that he used bigger bearings so they are bigger around.

The ones on this mower are, but what about the ones George sells, I saw Skeeters and I thought they used a smaller bearing and bolt ?
