[Mowindown]

I have one that has beat a few Indians.

[George Herrin]

Excuse me, a few!!! once or twice maybe 1 LOL. I didn't want to discourage you LOL... I could resist that!!!

[Mowindown]

LOL I am pretty sure it was twice.  But I have race another in NC that I beat. So instead of a few it should be a couple Indian just beat them multiple time.  LOL

[George Herrin]

Hey everyone gets lucky once in awhile. LOL

[Mowindown]

Yep you sure did!  The couple times you won. LOL 

[George Herrin]

Now thats FUNNY!!!!

[IBuiltmine-o1oo]

 can you bore the 40cid to take the stock size 44 cube piston?
The only difference between a 40 and a 44 is the bore right? no stroke or rod length diference?

[racingjohndeere55]

My 44 runs with the indians. I watch George run past me all the time......... George, Since I run a lower rpm than most, is there a cam avalable to work with the lower rpm's?

[George Herrin]

Yes but the Intek responds better to the higher lift cams.

[racingjohndeere55]

Do I just need a higher lift, or do I need a longer duration too? I have to explane this to my sponsor "aka" Mrsracingjohndeere55 I found out if I get real technical she just kinda looks at me and says "ok"

[George Herrin]

G'day Everyone,

I’m peter from Australia, mower racing is taking off here and the races are really competitive, I have a Briggs 40ci 22hp els engine, all I have done is taken the governor off and put a air pod on, and exhaust and  that’s about it. I want to get a bit more hp without spending an arm or a leg. Postage is a bit to Aust... what would be the next thing that I could modify get  more power.? valves?

Cheers guys any help would be good,

Oh and we are thinking of holding an international mower race event in Australia in the next year or so, it would be great to meet George Herrin and the rest of the crew. We have excellent facilities, clay tracks, hopefully it happens in the near future cheers pete.

Hey George, Now ya gotta learn to race backwards. The aussies if I'm not mistaken run clockwise around the track. Think ya can handle making right turns????? I dont know if the ol' family van will make it down under.......? maybe ol'goat can pick ya up on the way. Peter, good to have you here.

Read over the posts, there are alot of tricks that can be done cheaply in house. Or if you want to buy horse power, EC distibuting, ARC, Precision cams, just to name a few.

By the way George, Mike is gonna cut me the special " your gonna beat George with this cam" grind Thank you

[George Herrin]

I told him to cut it for ya that way when I beat ya ya got no excuses. LOLMAN that would be the BEST race in the world in Aussie. I have always wanted to go there. Heck I will just add wings to the twin and fly it over.
