I've seen these guys on TV and they are super serious racers. It's awesome.

You'll never see these guys withdrawing from a race because of tire concerns.

Heck no! We're nuts.. :)

I'm riding number 44... coming in on the inside in this shot... nothing special about the shot (I didn't take it... obviously...) but I do enjoy seeing shots of me... :)

Forgot to mention... I ended up taking a 5th on Saturday and a 3rd on Sunday in my class... and I was running a smaller engine than most of the other guys... I just handle REALLY well... :)

I've never attended a race in person but have watched several on TV. Looks like loads of fun for both the racers an fans. Got any more images?

A few more than what's on those two pages... I had a major hard drive crash 2 months ago while I was making some back ups.. luckly I got the pictures of my son off the drive right before the crash... but I lost 3 years of lawnmower racing photos... :(

I'm rebuilding my collection as we speak... I think I have 2 other shows (not races) saved in other places that I haven't put up yet... I'll have to see...

There's some shots of me in there lift both my tires... :) ya just gotta track them down... I think I have too many shots... and to think, I was wishing for another 1 gb card while I was there... 1 for each day... :)
