Man Sets Lawn Mower Speed Record

Mower Goes More Than 80 MPH

POSTED: 4:22 pm EDT July 5, 2006

BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah -- A new speed record was set in Utah on Tuesday -- on a lawn mower.

Bob Cleveland went more than 80 mph on his lawn mower across the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Since there is no record for fastest lawn mower, Cleveland won by default.

On the downside, he won't be able to get his yard work done any faster. He said the mower doesn't cut grass, it just goes fast.

He did not set the World Record for fastest Lawnmower since it does not mow. LOL.

I heard a report, not sure if it is true, that his girlfriend wishes he would mow the yard once and awhile.

Put a canopy on it and you'd have the worlds fastest golf cart.

Well... I guess if Audi can win LeMans with a 12 cylinder diesel, Joe 6-Pack can smoke Bonneville on a Torro...

Great story thanks for the ping.

I ran the long coax cable from my room to the computer room and it works much better now. But it seems not enough strength to run the router. Any word from the auction?
