The kids and I went over to the Mt.Pleasant Lions club, they were having one of their lawnmower races tonight. They had stock with the kids riding, super stock, ap's bp's. They ran 5 laps thru all the classes at first and then had the feature which is 10 laps. Those guys on the bp's, holy cow!! I think they are v-twin motors and boy do they fly!! It was a hoot!! If ya have not seen lawnmower racing....you have to check it out!!

 

On your mark.
Get set.
MOW!!!

 

The best part of lawnmower races is the Indy start. So cool...

 

At the fair in a few weeks they do lawnmower pulls. Its a good comp, dosen't bring the people like the truck pulls, but its just as fun.

 

I've never heard of that before, what is an Indy start ?

 

Where the contestants start the race on foot; at the whistle, they run to the lawnmower, start it, and then go.

Which often leads to hilarity, as a lot of the contestants are overweight men wearing sandals and a lot of the lawnmowers don't start very well.

 

thats a le mans start

 

At the very beginning, they should do the head on the baseball bat deal, spin 20 times, then run the the mowers.
lol.
