Re: Riding Mower Racer
Good Lord...I'd be scared shitless to ride a go kart with a wood frame. Fiberglass, wood, feet outside the rails, 60mph? Do you have some sort of a death wish?
If I were you, well if I didnt want to die, I would build the frame out of 1.25" .010 wall DOM tubing. Make it low to the ground, and wide. Small wide tires for good handling as well. Make the rear track wider than the front.
As far as engine performance, Im not sure what kind of engine is in that lawn mower. The old B&S Raptor series motors have cammer kits and stroker kits available. You can also bore them, and do port and polish. Little things go a long way with those motors.
