The mower racing is becoming a regular sport. Local newspapers report the results, sponsors are looking the best racer in order to get the first position in the next local or even state race. Races draw thousands of fans due tothe fact t
a lot of lawnmower racing races have been scheduled from town to town.
There are no purses and typically no betting in terms of mowers racing . Theree, they have no desire
lucre, it is only a hobby to work and enjoy. We can say t
it is only
the glory. Most of the mac
es which work in these races are long-retired ones t
racers rebuild
racing. On the other hand, we must say t
there exists different levels of classification; from stock racers t
still cut grass, or mowers without blades, which have been removed, to factory experimental mowers on which the plat
ms intended to cover the blades are strictly decorat
.
Gp1 : This is the grass roots of mower sport, lawn mower racing started here. Mowers are defined as run-be
d mowers, and it is easy to understand, w
you see is w
you get. The only t
g t
you need is to acquire an old petrol engined cylinder dr
n mower and race it.
Gp 2 : This g
p is split into 2 main g
ps
roller and wheel dr
n mowers. Those mower's types have a lot of similarities to race. The wheel dr
n mowers tend to be heavier and wider but offer better traction in slipper conditions.
Gp 3 : By far this is the most popular g
p at the moment. Lawn mowers are always wheel dr
n mac
es with the rider sat on the mac
e. This also tends to be the fastest g
p with mowers capable of reac
g speeds up to 40mph.
Gp 4 : This g
p was introduced
2002, and is described in the Rules & Regulations as a small bonneted tractor, which effect
ly opens this class up to a wide range of mowers. Dr
rs in this class should be able to compete against G
p 3 mac
es.
Currently, there exists the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association. They are responsible in checking rules each season, races, photo gallery and everyt
g relat
with mower races as well as how to organize a lawnmower racing in your own town
