OMG this is amazing!
Since we're on the topic of ricokulous posts.......
My lawn tractor pulls the front wheels so hard that you can overhand throw apples,pears,squash,barbie and various other chuckables straight into the blades.
I used to drag race it but then I ran 11's with no roll cage so they booted me from the track.

Well,I actually leave the blades on the mower for racing for a few specific reasons.
By nature,the lawn tractor has low ground clearance and for the GNCC races,I need to clear some large diameter logs.
I can hop the front end over them but then it bottoms out,so I drop the blades and mulch whatever is under me.
That lets the rear tires go over smoothly.
As for drag racing,after countless hours of wind tunnel testing,finite element analysis and three days of track rental,I realized the swirling blades actually aid acceleration. It seems to create a low pressure vaccuum vortex which has a mild hovercraft effect on the mower,therefore creating a slight amount of lift which lessens the rolling resistance of the tires.
I took the mower deck off once and loss .3 through the quarter mile.

So I put it back on.
Plus,my machine is a sport utility,and it needs to serve chores around the house....such as mowing. No "trailer queen" status here.
I estimate I got about 40k into my mower and becasue of that I cannot afford an additional riding mower to just cut the grass with.
My next project is the golf cart with the R1 drivetrain in it.
(yes,I am full of BS and not one iota of serious with any of the above posted info) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

hell yea! i put tazor 24" blades on tha bottom of my warrior last weekend and it goes at least 20 mph faster! Oh and the new grafix kit i bought gave me another 14+ horsepower at least. The blade gives me smoother compression on my oil filter and the engine kicks its extra power overide boosters on tha clutch system after the powerband so its super duper fast. hey guys, do you think i should put wings on tha side so maybe i could hover up at least a yard or so of the trails?.... thanks!
