New guy here, first post.
I'm from NW ohio. Fort Jennings to be exact.
About 8-9 years ago two guys that shared a backyard started mower races in town. Soon many people in town got involved and the races were moved to the park with the park festival that was held annually. Now the races have become a great event called motor madness weekend every year in August.
Bi-centenial is coming up next week and the mower races will be held during the celebration.
I'm young but have always loved tinkering. My friend and I took a old junkyard lawnmower and stripped it down to the frame. Beefed up the steering for safety reasons and re-enforeced the frame with some crossbars welded. Strapped on a old 3.5hp push mower engine and a tether and now it does 15mph
my uncle has races since the beginning and has been FAST. his mower has won him many races.
My friend and I are starting another mower project. One that is more race worthy and safer.
I came here for some guidence and help.
