mjeff87 Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Anyone into it? I just found out we have a state association :nuts: http://www.vlmra.com/ Pat! the next race is practically in your backyard, up there on the peninsula. Wanna go drink some beers and watch some 'necks? :D Jeff
87manche Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 the "world championship" is held in my backyard. Mansfield OH hosts it, about 18 miles south.
sinnaevd Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 i'm not but my neighbor's are :nuts: He got poulled over doing 95 hm/hr in a 50km/h zone, funniest thing i've ever seen in my life. that would be 59MPH in about a 30MPH zone
mjeff87 Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 I'm ashamed to admit, but if you guys think I keep the engines clean in my Escort and the MJ.....y'all ain't seen my riding mower yet :brows: I get a little OCD on it (but I have to store it outside under a tarp, so I consider it "weatherproofing" it more than anything) I don't think I could bring myself to enter it into a roundy race, but wouldn't mind going to check one out. Add it to the list of things my wife won't be interested in..... Jeff

I do know of two seperate incidents (not me personally, mind you) of people being issued DUI's on riding mowers.
87manche Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I saw it local once on the Mansfield public TV station. Insane. These people are making like 30 HP out of a Briggs motor. They do solid front suspensions and some had coilovers. The unlimited classes were hitting speeds 60-70 MPH on a dirt round track, and leaning in to the turns like it was motocross.
sinnaevd Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 lol pure hill billy heaven. someone see if they can find a vid of a lawnmower race crash lol!!! i want to see one
whowey Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 They have the 'Dixie Chopper/Sta-Bil Gas Treatment' nationals about 3 miles from my house. I really think its just a dig at Woods though. Woods HQ is in our county seat.
DirtyComanche Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I do know of two seperate incidents (not me personally, mind you) of people being issued DUI's on riding mowers. I saw that on COPS or one of those sort of shows. It cracked me up. Drunken hillbilly running from the cops on a lawn mower!
pingpong Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Jeff you are right... that is like 10 minutes from my house, but I have to work 3-11 Saturday. Some of the guys involved in that sport take it very seriously, kinda like Our lil dirt track up the road in Saluda... racing is very serious in this area
mjeff87 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 I still might roll up there and check it out....but I'm committed to getting your old bumper mounted up on my MJ this weekend :D We'll see what happens. Jeff
pingpong Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 If you come out early in the morning I can give you a hand doing it.. I have to leave my house for work by 130 though
