Kent, is it legal, I didn't see a grass collector, maybe it has a mulching blade.

2 Hr turn-around. It takes time for the Scotts Plus to dissolve in the tank. :-D

Mr. Riches, if I drive out to WF, rather than fly, I can bring an RR1000 right side lower, or a mold from it.  Anything else RR1000 you need?

Must be a new motor for this event. The old record he set was with a B&S Vangard motor.

PS. His tow rig and trailer are pretty nice.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

The guy in England who just broke his old record is the grandson of  Sir Malcolm Campbell.

The English mower sure looks more racey than this one.

Big tires in back and more laydown.

You've read me commenting about Murph, the itinerant guy that's out here for this event and will still be here for Finals, too, right?

Well -- earlier today he wanted to made a town run and wondered how long it'd be before we "unlocked" the salt so he could ride out.  I sugested he think about just going overland across the little dike and to the highway.  Hey, why not -- he's riding a dual-purpose (sorta) BMW bike that's tough enough to drive to Chile -- why not go that hundred yards across the dirt.  But, I told him -- watch out -- remember the sheriff's car that got stuck in the mud yesterday.  It might look like good surface but you could be surprised.

"Yeah", he said, "I'll be careful - I don't want to get the bike stuck or anything."



Unh, Murph, you're on your own next time -- I won't suggest what route to try.
