How does someone get started in mower racing?

Is it as cheap as it seems?

Got a few college students who want to give it a go. There are a few tracks 'round here.

I think it would be a blast.

Around here they actually have a sanctioning body for it. Best bet is to show up at an event and ask questions.

I guess what I'm asking for is a "how to get started for cheap and still be competitive" breakdown from someone who does it.

Like you say toyman I think most of it is sanctioned http://www.letsmow.com/

It looks like some good ol redneck fun

There would be the added bonus of being able to mow someones 25 acre lawn in 1 minute 37 seconds 015 milliseconds
