    Whoa. That must be quite a ride on such a short wheelbase!

    He cheated though...no mower-deck. :D

    80 miles an hour is not uncomon for a fully built ch***is and BP motor. Another thing is there lawn mower racing rules are way different then ours. the american driver they mentioned had lawn mower tires and atv wheels that guy in that video has trailer tires and it looks more custom made then it does like a mower. only reason there arent more land speed records for mower racing is i belive boniville wont let mowers run.. i know the texas mile doesnt anymore.

    I can imagine someone asking my wife how did your husband die? He was going 86 mph and his lawn mower flipped over. I think I will put this at the bottom of things to do they can keep this record lol. I will stick to the Texas Mile.
