Lawn mower racing is pretty popular in England also. The English don't use the same lawn mowers as us Americans. We have to drive SUV style riding lawnmowers.
It's NOT New.

"...the new and fascinating sport of bar stool racing."
Sorry, my hometown newspaper, the Austin-American Statesman (Texas), published a story about bar stool races back in 1976 or so (when I was in high school).
Fascinating, yes. New? Not by a long shot.
What we need is a good forum on that new-fangled thing, the "compact disk".

Man,
Lighten up and stop faulting people for having different interests.
At least these people have a hobby they care about and can share. I bet these people are quite passionate about their form of racing. As serious as it needs to be for safety, it is also very much about having fun and the bringing together of two great passtimes...drinking with your buds and pushing limits! It probably started as a joke and look what it has become!
I wish I had the time and know-how to do something like this!
