Long time no type!

February 2, 2012
It has been awhile, I know. Life has been getting busy lately but alot of things have been happening!
    Cool Rides On Line, Carters Automotive and Small Engine Cams will return as sponsors next year. I cannot stress enough how critical sponsor help is to the operation of any race team. Great big thanks go out to all of them!
    Larry is about to finish up his new S/P, quite the mowchine. I look for him to be quite competitive in the SP class this season and fully expect he will finish near if not top of the class! More engine is going into the well proven Teddy Bear designed MTD chassis set-up. Look out USLMRA, the Teddy Bear is hungry!
    I am turning out the Opposition Stage IV as I type. Big cubes and lots of torque is the end of the equation here. More stroke, more bore and an EC Carburator should hopefully put me in the hunt for the C/P class top 5. Last year both the stage III and IV engines me and Tommy Hawley of Hawley Racing proved to be strong. With the new Tim Isky grind this year I believe this will be the strongest Opposition engine yet! You half motor C/P racers better have them things wound for sound!
    The Oppy will have a new chassis as well, a late 60'ds model B111 Wheelhorse will be toting tires and grass!

    Safety is goal #1 in racing now days. It used to be winning is everything and how fast can we go, but like the world around it racing has become more socially responsible and so it is if you cannot do it safely you cannot do it at all? Not quite! In an inherently dangerous sport only so much can be done to improve safety, we do not race in protective bubbles though some would have it that way.
    The racing community has just lost one of it's champions, by now everyone knows of the loss ...

Stop doing that!

August 18, 2011
    Time and time again I see several things happen in Lawn Mower racing that frankly just bug me! ALot of people talk about how we need to help promote the sport, get more racers involved, etc etc. A new guy comes along and is all interested and the first thing these people do is tell them they are doing it all wrong.  They tell them no you cannot build it that way, this won't work, you have to spend money to race, that'll never be fast, do it my way or I won't help you!
    The fact of the m...

Can it get too fast?

August 2, 2011
As many know there has been talk in the USLMRA of losing the LeMans starting format. SOmething that it has been said for years would not happen! This season also saw some modifications to the rule books which allowed more modification than ever before to the body of the mowers.Rear bumpers are now allowed in almost every association including
the Oldest National sanctioning body.  For years the USLMRA said no to bumpers, bumpers are for bumping and we do not bump! But now we suddenly need the...

Roll on Oppy!

June 28, 2011
Had a great weekend in Zion, Ill at the Land of Lincoln Stabil Lawn and Garden National Points race. Once again the Opposed was strong. My chasis let me down, however and Dr Art Neavil, one of the greatest Men on the face of the earth, let me drive his Briggs OHV powered C/P to a 2nd place finish. What a ride that was, after a bad start I tore through the feild from worst to beating on first, in the end Nate Mesalk got the better of me and took the checkered. nate is a good friend and a great...

Happy Fathers Day

June 20, 2011
    Had a great steak and a great lunch with my kids and grandson today. Pretty much spent the rest of the day doing my favorite thing...NOTHING! Takin Gram-pa naps and staring at the tube, a little on-line poker followed by more TV!
    Once a year we remember our dads, maybe buy them something or even just a phone call to wish them a happy day. My father, like most, taught me many things growing up. Being a mechanic alot of what he taught me was how things work and how to fix them. The best ...
