If you decide to upgrade the clutch, you might consider an older 60s to 70's style cub cadet clutch. An aluminum plate between two steel plates and it functions like an automotive style clutch.

Lol those were the 90s as a kid for me.

Some kind of transmission with a prop-shaft would be nice. But I don't think the engine can take a lawn tractor race. It's a fragile piece of machinery..

That engine is awesome! For pulleys though I would stick with the v pulley as it will grab better and not slip, but maybe add some throw to the clutch assembly if it needs to disengage more. Or go 1/2" difference on one of the pulleys (drive or driven) and change the belt size accordingly. I have routed additional idler pulleys to take up slack, so if I'm having this issue where one belt size is too small and gives no clutch, or one size up is too long and doesn't grab, I just put another idler in the route somewhere to take up a little bit of slack and allow the longer of the 2 sizes to grab.

Great video, but I recommend putting a bigger pully on the motor to gain a little more speed. The pully on the rear seems correct. I did a racing lawn tractor build 2years ago. Since the motor was a 20HP twin, it had the power to move it, replaced the small engine pully for the biggest diameter pully that would fit without rubbing the frame., then replaced the rear axle pully with the smallest diameter pully. The results were amazing, The tires would spin and kick up rooster tails from the gained power increase. Max speed about 45 MPH.
