Even if they kept the rail engine and did drag runs with it, they could just make it a bit more stable. Lower the seating position a bit, move the rear axle back about 6 inches, and with drag rail style front wheels, add in heaps of castor like they did on the rail. I mean really, the only problem is the weight balance of it being too far rearward in relation to the rear axle. If they really wanted to go nuts it'd be quite possible to make a whole new chassis under in in the style of the rail or chop down the rail chassis since its bent and just mount the mower bodywork on top :-)

They also need to lengthen the wheelbase to make it more stable at high speeds. Making it wider will help, but that wheelbase is too short for high speed stability on 4 wheels. Then, they need to lower it. Longer, lower, and wider is more stable. And, let's be honest, that thing need all the help it can get to make it more stable at speed. A roll cage wouldn't hurt, either.

I can't believe you welded the head back together and it works, awesome stuff.

Glad you are dropping this project. It’s inherently top heavy and too dangerous.

I think we need to start a new hashtag. #ikesgotballs Make it safer if possible but let's be completely honest here...I am not trying to disrespect the guys at all (my favorite channel!) but should they really have taken a mower chassis that fast on pavement with no safety gear beyond a helmet? The mower is not at fault and in and of itself is only as dangerous as the person driving allows it to be. All of us have to practice personal responsibility. In 2009 I ran a full season of lawn mower demolition derby. My modified mower ran 40 mph reliably and we were intentionally crashing into each other exactly like the cars do. Dumbest damn thing I ever did. It was fun and I still build engines for folks that want to derby and race mowers but I would NEVER do it again. I made it through a whole season without injury because I wore PPE and knew my limits. My point is that we all have to take responsibility for our own safety and know our limits. If the guys feel that they cannot ride the mower safely then so be it. I respect their decision but they have to own the fact that they were on pavement with no PPE and created the danger themselves. I believe they know that and would tell you in a heartbeat that it was their own fault.

The only real issue with that hole was that it needs to be solid to contain the oil, nothing more nothing less. Now if combustion chamber of the head was cracked that would be an issue but if we take his word for it it looked good and the crack didn't get close to it. So it should still be pretty good just wouldn't win any beauty contests.
