That looks awesome.

Take it to the strip! and get some sub-ten E.T's on that BEAST!

..you know there really is a racing group with lawnmowers. I think they race in the ballpark of 60mph, which is pretty fast for a mower.

Just joking. Dont get killed on that thing.

I've seen a supercharged B & S motor on a junior drag car before, perhaps a mod in the future?

the thing doesn't have a gas pedal (i think, mine doesn't) Just a brake/clutch conglomeration.

I put mine into 6th gear and drop the clutch but it only pulls a little on concrete, none on grass.

Ive pulled some donuts with it in the rain though(retarded...) and ****ed up the grass real bad (oops). I also need to get some gears and belts and i could probaly get the top speed up to 20 or so. Also I could fix the shifter so that no clutch is needed and I could shift on the go.

a stock mower with the deck still on wont do one like that. with that one just stick it in 5th and pop the clutch. Plus i have a 10lb weight on the back of the mower. gotta have it at full throttle to get it up. im abput to work out some kinks in the throttle system. Might add a 25lb weight on the back too.

that looks familiar, I had to have someone catch mine from falling on me when we had the deck off for maintence....

I can't pop the clutch on the new one we have, but I can however go in reverse then slam it into forward, that got em up!

I think that mower would be hot wit an aluminum wing yo!

Oh the cars indeed. I would buy a bunch of neo classics first though. MkII supra, AE86 corolla, S110 & S12 200sx's, Starion, MKIII supra turbo. That would be for starters.
