    Eating and drinking are not advised when watching this. The winning tiller runs 22mph for 200'.

    If it has a motor and wheels, somebody will race it.

    Why even bother with the wheels? Heck, why even bother with the motor....

    As one who has run his rototiller on its tines to see just how fast it would go, I don't advise doing it. At least not with a rear tine tiller. Sometimes when you go over a berm you can misjudge and catch the nose in the ground. Then the unit tips up, you go under, and it drops down on your legs. It's an interesting sensation, but not one I recommend to others.

    I don't know why; it’s a perfectly cromulent sport.

    It's noble spirit embiggens even the smallest man.
