Calling all rednecks!
Anyone on here into, or have friends into lawnmower racing? Thinking about building one just for the hell of it.

never tried it. I'd like to though. If theres one thing I discovered, if it has an engine and isnt a car, I like racing it.

Does the blade have to be turning, or could you cheat and decouple it.

The blades are supposed to be taken off if I'm not mistaken. They have lawnmower races about 30 miles from me. I haven't been yet but have talked to the guy who runs/owns the track there. Seems like alot of fun! Especially when you get into the highly modified ones.

All the ones i've seen they remove the mower decks. It is the tractor only, a highly modified tracor, but still a lawn tractor.
