racing mower complete!

As witnessed by the deletion of the prior post regarding racing mowers, I can see that the topic must be annoying. But regardless, the machine, or 'mowchine' is now completed. The first race will be in Potter Valley, CA on April 7th. Therafter, there are numbers of planned events in the state and even a slight chance of a participation in an event in Vegas. So, without further ado, here's the mower.

At a glance:

Engine: 16 Horsepower opposed head Briggs & Stratton
Transmission: 5 speed Foote transaxle
Brakes: Mechanically actuated disk brakes
Steering: Solid direct with 35 degree max lock to lock
Gearing ratio: 8:1
Approximate speed: 45 MPH, but yet to be confirmed prior to field testing
