  • Sure, you can use a riding lawnmower to cut grass. But you can also slap on a helmet, put together a pit crew and race. Yes, lawnmower racing is a thing, and it is extraordinary. Think NASCAR or Formula 1-just a bit slower. In England, the British Lawn Mower Racing Association oversees the sport. We followed the members of the Who’s Racing team as they compete in a grueling 12-hour endurance race in Five Oaks, England. Get ready to witness the Greatest Show on Turf.

    I got an old racing mower mostly made with bicycle parts and a straight 3 I fixed up from a yard, it goes about 60-70 mph but is very unstable, I think I'll be widening the front axle to allow it to open up more

    • @majortom1538
      @majortom1538 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      For clarification, the bicycle parts is the drive system which is driven by 2 chains and 2 sprockets from a bicycle, the body is reinforced by cut down pieces of a bike chassis and the foot pegs for the throttle and brake are the end pieces of the handle bars

    This race was obviously NOT held in the U.S.!!! During this entire race (especially at night),I didn't see ONE flying-insect whatsoever on that entire Track! Lol. If this was held in the U.S.,at night,during the summertime? OMG.......You'd literally have to take a large spray-bottle and wipe off all the BUG-GUTS from the lights on the mower,and from the driver,each time You came into the pits,because in the mid-west? The bugs get so thick that you can't go 10 feet without smacking into a few hundred of them! Lol.
