Getting Started
« on: January 11, 2016, 08:34:10 pm »
Having supplied several core mowers for my friend so he could build racers back home up north, I've decided to build one myself. I live in western Tennessee so any help finding racing clubs, tracks, etc. would be appreciated. A friend at work has a John Deere LX133 he will let me have for $100. I cannot find info on a LX133 only an LT133 so he may have given me bad info. I have not seen the mower yet so I cannot confirm i.d. Anyway, any suggestions as how I should start the build would be welcome. I'm an experienced machinist/mechanic and I'm ready to go racing. Thanks for any help!

Where in western TN?  Get in touch with Bill Shaffer on here.  I think he lives in Somerville, TN and races with us at some of our local races.  He will be able to help with set up and such.  I am with Arkansas LMRA, based in Jonesboro.  We have raced at the Delta Fair in Memphis the last few years, also other venues that may not be MUCH of a drive for ya>  WELCOME!!!!!

I live in Dyersburg, TN, about 70 miles north of Memphis.

Our home track is just north of Paragould, AR.  It would be about 1 to 1.5 hours from Dyersburg, through Caruthersville, HWY 412 through Kennett.
