KOLD CBS in Arizona covers the Arizona Lawn Mower Racing Association

Posted by (0) Comment

KOLD CBS in Arizona covered the Arizona Lawn Mower Racing Association. Check out all three segments in the right hand “Featured Videos” area. From the story:

The race starts and they circle a dirt track, going 50 – 60 miles per hour, and the air becomes cloudy with dust. Now your eyes hurt and your ears ring, but you can’t stop laughing, because the sight of grown men on their John Deere lawn mowers, hurtling themselves at top speed is something you’ve never seen before.

Twelve Mile, Indiana claims to have invented the sport of lawn mower racing, but believe it or not, there are lawnmower racing tracks all over the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Even the desert of Arizona can be included when naming places the sport is gaining popularity.

Catch the rest here!
