Ian 2,417 #1 Posted June 22, 2014 I went to see the blmra mower racing which was being held as luck would have it in the village I live today, and I now have respect for the mower racing guys.. Why? Well Karl who is Nigel's son was racing today and was kind enough to organize for me to have a blast on a racing mower round the track during a 10 min break.. How these guys manage to do so many laps at such high speed over a very bumpy track is amazing!! After 3 1/2 laps my body had had enough of being shaken to bit's, but boy was it worth it Video footage was taken, but for now have a photo of me having a fun time.... Of course I had to drive a racing Wheel Horse 2 nigel and rotoscytheben reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #6 Posted June 25, 2014 Take project "Why Not" along next time Ian, whup their asses !! I'm not sure they have a class for my level of modification Paul, but it sure would be fun to take "Why Not" around the track Awesome Ian, I've done a lot of Karting, inc 24hr challenges, that takes weeks to recover from 24hr challenges!! It's a wonder you can still walk Mark! ahh shame i missed it i would have come along had i not been laid up with the lurgy maybe next time You should of come along Ben, all the dust would of killed your lurgy Looks like a lot of fun Ian, would love to do that myself one day Thanks Neil, my advice would be to wear lot's of tight fitting padding.. It has to be tight to stop the body from shaking apart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
