America’s “Grass Roots” Motor sport continues to mow and grow

Where have you been hiding at? That has been out for a while. I don't get it personally.

I guess it is fun if you are tweaking out the mower, kinda like overclocking a PC maybe?

They are wearing helmets. I will go no farther on that train of thought.:-D

Number 64 has obviously done his homework and tweaked the heck out of that ride! Yeah, I watched the video...

I am curious about the suspension. On a stock mower, there is little or none in my experience. That dude seemed to be well suspended. (if that is a word)

NASCAR bush league maybe?

Ahhh, and why are they not mowing anything?

I admit it..I have a weakness for anything that goes vroom vroom...soemthing about the rumble of an engine...large or small just gets me going. I have attended many lawn mower, tractor, car, motorcycle, bus, snowmobile, 4 wheeler and semi races. Add in the pulling competition for tractors, lawn mowers and trucks and well...what can I say?:o:-D Love the 'smoke rings' tractors blow when they are gearing up to pull....a loud rumble...a little high pitched whine and poof! A perfect ring escapes the exhaust.:cool

I also love demolition derbies and monster trucks....maybe I need therapy....LOL

Lounge response: You don't get enough vroom vroom from Star? :o;)

Good seeing you too, Teresa. I'm more of a lurker here now .. busy at work, and don't really get a change to come here when home.

I do believe that we won't see it on the NASCAR circuit, but, you can always see it on ABC wide world of sports...
I think its cool that they started this out of joke, but, I do believe there is going to be some serious injuries during these races down the line.
But, with a set of tools, an air compressor, and a six pack of Bud there is no telling what they will come up with next.....

Wait until they start using nitro or jet motors (some idiot will try it) then there is no telling how fast they can go.http://www.getsmile.com/emoticons/smileys-91853/b0/redcap.gif

nitro RC boat is setting new standards in gas boating. This race ready nitro boat features a powerful 2.67cc water-cooled engine and is a top seller among serious boaters. Comes completely assembled and RTR (ready to run). Includes racing decals and racer heads. This nitro boat is extremely fast and eats waves and wakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We have many customers in Florida that use this remote control boat in the ocean!

and this you can fit to a lawn mower :-D

Hey Thats how they started the Redneck games ;)

http://summerredneckgames.com/index.html

Have a look though the photos lol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_GamesThe Redneck Games are held in East Dublin, Georgia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Dublin,_Georgia) annually. The games were started by General Manager for WQZY-FM "Y96"; Mac Davis in response to a comment made by the media; that when the 1996 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996) Olympic Games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games) went to Atlanta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta), it would be held by a group of rednecks.
Taking offense to this, Mac Davis and some locals set up the annual Redneck Games to reinforce the stereotype the media held.
Events

Some events that are held during the Redneck Games include:


The cigarette flip
Bobbing for pig's trotters
Seed spitting
Toilet seat throwing
Mud pit belly flop
Big-hair contest
Wet T-shirt contest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_T-shirt_contest)
Armpit serenade
Bug zapping by spitball
Dumpster diving (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpster_diving)
Hubcap hurling

For each of the events, a trophy is awarded; a half crushed, empty mounted beer can.
