Don't get quite the same vibe from that as I do from the real DD's Needs a little something......maybe big spikes on the front of the mowers?
Reminds me of the electric cars at the old Carnivals. Maybe they need to fill that pit with about a foot of water and let it turn into mud. Otherwise it's as exciting as me cutting the lawn. Which by the way I have to do.
hey, hey, hey/ and a cautionary tale, of sorts. Don't say it needs spikes!!! They'll go out and do that... AND, maybe a few of them will get "Masala Hubcaps", that's a Ben-Hur chariot race reference. OR, they'll get co-riders who jump from vehicle to vehicle ala Mad Max. well ,,, wait a minute ... I think they should do ALL of those things, if it means keeping good wagons out of the demo derbies.
Down here on the sand beaches of central Florida the mower decks take a beating and need welded and repaired constantly. After I didn't have any place to weld the welds I used my old mower without deck to pull the lawn wagon. I could have joined those guys and had fun.
We've had those Lawm Mower derby's in our little town in MN.. They started after we ran out of Combines for the DD's.. http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=14954&stc=1&d=1378673013 http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=14955&stc=1&d=1378673013 http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=14956&stc=1&d=1378673968 Nothin' like watching the DD's with a walking taco, and a brew to wash it down with.
I'd think they'd use snowmobiles in Minn. I have a freind who rode his out IN a lake. I'm sure that happens regularly in winter.
Now a combine DD, that would be cool! And yet I bet there is some farmer out there crying because a John Deer got trashed.... and the lawn mower man also..... and then there is us, the wagon guys when it comes to derby...... I'm sure the Army has enough out of date/out of service tanks laying around.......why not a DD with those?
OMG, there is such places! http://www.mylawnmowerforum.com/forum/ http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/forum.php And people call us wagon lovers...
Perfectly good riding mowers going to the demo derbys??? What's next? Station wagons? OMG! Will it ever end!:banghead3: I suggest the next riding mower olympics should be played on grass and all mowers should have blades down and working. Safety toe shoes may be required.
What will they think of next...... I just thought of another oddball sport. What if you did cross-country skiing and had to shoot a rifle at the same time? Oh, wait...............
