IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
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.

metal guards deflecting a broken chain downward and preventing entanglement
with mower parts.

width, fabricated from ¾”outer diameter tubing with radius bends and installed a
maximum of 2” from closest surface of the rear tire. Recommended height of 6”,
no higher than 8”. The bumper should be centered on the rear axle. The intent of
the bumper is to prevent mowers from “climbing” the rear tires and making contact
with a driver. No other bumpers are permitted, even those offered as factory
options.
hh. Seats must be present and of lawn mower origin. Seat is defined as being a separately attached device on which the driver will place his body during
racing competition. They should be securely mounted to the mower, on the
center of the frame.
ii. Seats may be adjusted more towards the front or rear of the mower along the center
line to help achieve better weight balance for handling.
jj. The lowest portion of the seat pan should not be mounted lower than the top of the
rear tires.
kk. Sheet metal should be as delivered from the factory with the following exceptions:
Substitutions:
· Where original factory sheet metal is not available or is damaged in a way that renders it unsafe or unusable sheet metal from another similar model mower that would otherwise be eligible to race may be used.
· Replacement sheet metal must fit properly and be as close in shape to the factory panel as possible.
· Substitute sheet metal should be attached to the frame in as close to the original position as possible.
· All panels must be securely fastened so as not to create a safety hazard.
· Substituted panels must be modified to fit properly and safely.
· Minimal under hood mounting brackets are acceptable.
· Panel substitution is provided in order to give the opportunity for a racer to run a mower that might otherwise be sidelined. Panels may not be substituted simply to modify or customize a mower’s appearance. Panel substitutions that make a mower look radically different than other mowers in a class will not be allowed.
Modification:
· The hood and/or its components may be modified to provide clearance to allow tires to turn and steer without contact with sheet metal.
· Sheet metal maybe bent or cut to allow for clearance of modifications otherwise allowed such as air cleaners, exhaust, brakes, clutches or other controls.
· Openings cut in sheet metal shall not be more than 2 inches from the obstruction.
· Fenders may be modified to allow for tire clearance issues due to chassis lowering as well as for handling purposes. Allowable modifications include:
v Trimming fenders such that there remains ½” of clearance between the fender edge and the top of the tire.
v Flaring of the fender such that there remains ½” of clearance between the fender edge and the top of the tire.
1” of vertical material must remain on the fender. This will ensure the structural integrity of the fender.
Fender trimming should follow the contour line of the fender, not merely remove sheet metal in the immediate area.
Fender trimming or flaring that results in sharp edges will not be permitted.
Removal:
Any sheet metal originally on a mower may not simply be removed. A mower originally delivered with fenders must have fenders. A mower originally delivered with a hood must have a hood.

VII. SERIES POINT SYSTEM AND AWARDS POLICY
• The point system is designed to encourage and recognize participation. Points are awarded for all events with the exception of practice or exhibition races, although participation is encouraged as a means to further the sport and increase public perception of the Mowfast racing as a legitimate competitive sport.
• Points are awarded for 1st through 5th places and trophies given for 1st through 3rdplaces in each class. Series point’s winners will be announced at the conclusion of the Mowfast racing season. 1st through 3rd Place Points winners will receive prizes and/or trophies.
100 points for Registration
150 points for Starting and Finishing
200 points for 5th 250 points for 4th
300 points for 3rd 350 points for 2nd
400 points for 1st
• Drivers will receive points for a mower in only one class. Points are awarded to the DRIVER, not the machine. Driver is defined as the person who completes the FIRST lap of a race.
• Mower must cross the finish line under its own power to receive points for that race unless a mechanical failure occurs on the white flag lap.
VIII. TECHNICAL INSPECTION
A. Every mower entered in any Mowfastracing event must be approved for competition by technical inspection before practicing or racing at the event. A sticker will be applied to each mower’s frame when it has passed inspection. No mower will be allowed on the track without it's technical inspection. Any mower may be re-inspected at anytime at the discretion of the chief steward or Chief Technical Inspector. If found in non-compliance with these regulations, any mower may be removed from competition.
B. The Chief Steward shall have the right to remove from competition at anytime any driver, crew member or guest in the pits who does not comply with these regulations, who fails technical inspection or who, in the Chief Stewards soul discretion, is exhibiting behavior which is dangerous to other participants or spectators.
C. Chief Tech Inspector or stewards decisions are final.
D. It is the competitors’ responsibility to document the mower’s stock configuration (e.g. via owner’s manual, repair bulletin, parts list, photos of original configuration, etc.). |
