Year's ago I watched lawnmower drag racing on a grass track, it was cool. The unlimited class was pulling the front tires 15-20 ft. All I've seen since are roundy or road course.

]Because I love them and really , the polarizing spree was polarizing .I was about to go away for a about a month so I thought I'd try to derail the stupidity of it all .

One of the coolest things I've ever seen was a lawnmower race on dirt around hay bales at a Watermelon festival in rural SC. Those things were Junior Johnson hopped up, and the guys were all pulling on strings connected to the carb with one had and trying to steer with the other hand. That was awesome.

I have never actually seen lawn mower racing . I've seen it on the small screen , but never actually been to one . On the other hand I have been to a Lawn Mower / tractor pull and it was pretty cool .

I think Bar Stool Racing kinda outdid Lawn Mower Racing, now don't even start! Actually most recently it was Barbie Car Racing.

[RockJustRock]

Oh Gawd NO! Barbie JEEP Racing!
