OK, at what point does a lawn mower become a Sprint Car Midget racer?

Perhaps a more apt description is a race car that on rare occasions cuts grass.

Didn’t see a lot of grass cutting going on there.

“Ain’t nothin’ stock about a stock car.”

And what they produced is NOT a lawnmower.

Ok, so how often do you need to mow a racetrack?

How do you increase blade speed to ensure an even cut?

Besides, we have too many mole holes for those speeds....

I've often said that these things look like they should have a mower deck mounted right between the front wheels -

I don’t see it doing a very good job actually cutting the grass at that speed.

"The National Drag Racing Lawn Mower Association racers put on quite a show for the fans Friday night at San Antonio Raceway. A field of eight drivers competed on the quarter-mile dragstrip. A full report with results will be posted here on Saturday."

This my old junker I threw together for about $80 total.
I drive it around the local dirt track and drag strip infield. According to my MPH app on my phone it tops out at 31 MPH.
Just a smaller rear pully and larger tires to change the gear ratio.
I build much nicer ones with quiet exhaust that I have sold to people that use them for racetracks and campgrounds and whatnot.
Since this picture was taken I have changed the exhaust to dual pipes out the back and of course finished up the paint.
Its blaze orange with Camo panels now. Very quiet now.
