    [​IMG] Its a Microstock. 8' bumper to bumper, 5HP Briggs flathead and lots of fun.

    When I was a kid a 3/4 midget crashed and the driver got out. I kept elbowing my Dad and saying "hey that guy aint a midget!".

    This is one of the most retro and owned by the guy who first invented the Microstock concept. It flipped at an indoor race at AC. This p***ed Jan.

    More like a riding lawnmower with a body on it.! :D

    Looks like it's fun as hell!

    A couple years ago I was looking at riding mowers at Home Depot thinking how much I didn't need one for my less than 3000 sq ft patch of lawn and I dreamed up "Racing Lawnmowers!"
    Then I googled them and found out them good ole boys in the South East had benn raacing them for years... :eek:

    That looks awesome. Baker theatre is a 2 minute bike ride from my house. Any idea where the old track used to be?

    This is from njrn.com.

    Dover Speedway - Dover, NJ

    1/2-mile dirt oval
    (6/11/33 to 1935, 7/4/47 to 1952 and 6/12/54 to 7/10/54)

    Located on US 46 (on the East side of town, next to the Dover Tank & Stack
    Company).

    Microstocks never raced there. But, they did get there start at Pine Brook Speedway (now a Home Depot)

    Huh, that's gotta be back behind the blockbuster. Only place I can think of that'd fit all that. I knew that big empty lot on 46 too. The s**** yard is on the other side. Never knew what it was.
