Anyone up for a lawn mower race at OSRC?

How fast will the mowers be

 

[Bear T]

I clocked mine at a whopping 4mph. In the humor of the event, we are not doing engine or pulley mods to hit high speeds.

But you are allowed to run any tire you want so you can gain some top end speed through bigger tires.

The rules gave me a good laugh and this should be an awesome just straight up fun time to watch.

I just spent the night getting mine all tits out... i got it to do a wheely, then fell off, and it drove off by itself... should be pretty fun!

o mine is 6th... Dump the clutch.... Big wheelie!

 

[Bear T]

I about flipped mine Sunday, apparently 14.5 hp, 6th gear full throttle, with a 340 lbs weight on the back makes it way to easy to wheelie.

 

[McGhie]

haha thats awesome!

 

[SUPERFLY]

shake and bake! this is going to be awesome! i think mine does 5 mph now..

Please read through the rules for the race.

We don't want to be strict but want to be fair.

Hi Bear,

What do you think about a figure 8 track for the mowers?

 

[Craig S]

May of 2014 for the next race.

Those rules look fair enough. When do you have another coming race?

 

[Bear T]

We are going to be creating 2 classes for next year. The rules listed in this thread will be for the stock class. We are also going to have an Unlimited Class with only basic safety rules.

Anybody have a good lawnmower pic from this year?
