We can’t wait to see everyone this weekend in Ohio!!!

As most of you know, our very own Engine Answerman – Bobby Cleveland – set the land speed record for the World’s Fastest Lawnmower Driver on July 4, 2006 by going over 81 mph. In May, British driver Don Wales ‘stole’ this title in Wales.

Well, Bobby has made some modifications to the 104+ brand mower, and will be heading back to the Bonneville Salt Flats the weekend of September 24-26 to reclaim what’s his. His goal is to go 100 mph (or maybe 104?). Check out the video:

Head over to WillBobbyGo100.com to learn much MOW about this exciting project!

The first annual lawnmower race at the Mesa County Fair in Grand Junction, Colorado was covered by KJCT Channel 8:

Partnering with the the Western Slope Lawnmower Racing Association, the Mesa County Career Center provided some entertainment for folks at the fair.

“It’s affordable, fun, and the whole family can do it,” Deen said.

A family affair, for sure. “My son is riding in the race, we’re cheering him on,” Denise Brown added.

But this race has a much deeper meaning. While it may all be fun and games right now, organizers hope in the future it will bring in some proceeds that will give back to the community.

“We’re hoping to be able to put the proceeds back into our club, to sponsor some kids who don’t have as many resources,” Tammy Gribble said.

She helps teach an engine repair class to high-schoolers at the Career Center. A class where kids get real hands on experience.

“It’s very important to help teenagers get a head start in life,” Deen said.

Cheap Seats was an ESPN Classic TV program hosted by brothers Randy and Jason Sklar, who appear as fictional ESPN librarians who watch and play peanut gallery to old sports broadcasts. Season One, Episode 18 featured the 2003 STA-BIL National Lawn Mower Racing Finals in Mansfield, Ohio!
