Things to remember:
If you build your mower like a heavy tank, consider the distance prior to building. Its a LONG walk for assistance.
It is highly recommend that a scatter shield be installed on all engines that are operating with ANY alterations to the stock flywheel. This is to include removing the magnets. There have been incidents of altered stock flywheels exploding and causing serious personal injury. It is not recommended that any alterations be made to a stock flywheel. These are not tested under any standards for safety. Appropriate scatter shields are commercially available.
This type of race is designed to test your building skills and personal endurance. Start fast, you may finish last.
