birdman_express 2 #1 Posted April 24, 2012 My name is Marc. I heard of this site from Rooster, whom I race mowers with. I have heard all sorts of stories from him about this site. I am a small engine repair guy, and was looking for some Kohler parts, and did a search, and I found a link to what I needed, and the link was based out of here. Even though I am not an avid tractor fan, and more along the lines of a lawn mower racing fanatic. I saw the potential of learning about old engines from this site. Plus my buddy Rooster is over here too. Who knows, I like the looks of some of the Wheel Horse tin, I may make a racer out of one. I have posted a pic of my mower, and here is a video of her in action. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,409 #2 Posted April 24, 2012 Hi Wekcome to redsquare from the UK Your lawmnmower racing looks real fun to do , what sort of speed can you get up to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birdman_express 2 #3 Posted April 24, 2012 Speed is dependent on track size, but speeds reaching 60 MPH are possible. I have been in the 50's range myself. But it's more about the people we meet at the races that makes it the most fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birdman_express 2 #17 Posted April 27, 2012 I've been to a few races in El Reno OK, as a spectator! The main groups I participate in, have not had the same classes in the past for that track, I go through OK City when I go race in Kansas. About twice a year.
