Looks like fun. I recall years ago an uncle of mine lived on a acre lot and used a riding mower. One day he and his next door neighbor raced while mowing. The neighbor won and my uncle put a different gear on the axle and gutted the muffler and won on the next weekend. This started a cycle of modifications that had the whole neighborhood laughing and my uncle looking forward to mowing the lawn.

Been racing lawn mowers for three years. Its a blast. I saw a show about it on Discovery channel and said, "That looks like fun" Found an old mower and turned it into a racing one. You can check out the site www.letsmow.com for more info.
