A young kids racecar

[Bill Musarra]

When I was a kid(10-12), I used to dream about racecars. The closest thing I could come to, was the only internal combustion engine I was allowed to navigate, which was our 4 blade lawnmower. I used to experiment with it to get it to go faster and do doughnuts in the front lawn, which used to upset my father. I would drive it around the hilly one acre plot, override the govenor, with the muffler off, watching it backgfire and such, all the time pretending it was a car and I was on a mission. They now have racetracks for these beast. I stumbled on to a Youtube video of one mans quest with a lawnmower. The first video is the quest. The second is the current record. All based on a idea. I love it.

Isn't great there are still people crazy enough just to do something like this just for the hell of it? Brilliant!

The blokes who don't get on the podium probably get very cut up about it.
