Jr. Dragster is a ride fairly popular here in Alaska. Yes, we have a dragstrip, LOL
Briggs seems to be the engine of choice, running alcohol to skirt the non-existant rules, sure, it looks stock but...
I'm new to the BSR scene, and I appreciate all the info I've gleaned from reading your posts, and i thank all of you for that.
I got an old snow thrower engine and belt type transmission today, quite a step up from the lawn mower vertical shaft I was considering, lol.
Looking at at building a yard type vehicle/transporter, not necessarily fast, just easy to operate on our property.
I'm thinking something easy to drive, but still hi-center like a half stand position, and some kind of governer, but either lower CG, or (less likely) wider/longer WB.
Guess I'd better figure what engine it really is... I bet it's old.
I'm half tempted to leave it belt type with a idler to tighten up slack for now, and get the frame building out of the way and figure I can upgrade to chain and clutch later, but also realize if you don't have the money to do it right the 1st time, how can you afford to do it again?
