    funny.. but fake..

    Don't try it in Hanahan, SC. They will write you up and you will spend many dollars fighting it. Even if you were only going three houses down to mow an old man's yard.

    There was a "Mowserati" in a GRM once in the "Stuck On You" section, IIRC.

    The reason I suggested snowmobile engine is both that and the original lawn mower engine use centrifugal clutches. Well, at least the ones I've fiddled with. Aline the belts and bolt that mother in.

    yes, there was, but it was just for mowing the grass, but not for racing though...

    Dad and I had plans to put an old Crosley motor and trans in a Bolens 1050 mower frame.
    Had it all planned and then got sidetracked. We still have the motor and trans... Hmmm.

    Along with the uslmra (link above) there are other lawn mower racing organizations and even local chapters all over North America. The UK has a similar organization.

    Here's another US group :

    ~American Racing Mower Association~

    We've been thinking about putting the 2 stroke 3cyl from the Wartburg in a golf cart, maybe a mower would be good...hmmmm
