Lawn mower racing is not a five mph sport. As you will see in this video, these highly modified machines can touch 60mph in less than five seconds. They are lowered and their suspensions are cut, welded, and re-engineered much in the way that full on cars are done. Pound for pound these little bastards are mean machines!
We were tipped off to this video by reader Mike Westervelt and the three minute long profile on racers and the racing that happens at a a serious mower competitio is thoroughly entertaining. It gives the sport and the participants their due as a legit form of racing. The people involved all do it with a smile and don’t seem to take themselves too seriously, so that makes it all the better. This is a dignified profile of people having the time of their lives and racing hard against one another…on lawn mowers. 100% BangShift approved!
Press play and MOW!
