Lawnmower Racing To Become Next Big Sport?

GLENVIEW, IL. (Wireless Flash) – Forget pro wrestling. Some folks think that lawnmower racing just might cut it as the next big sports trend. One of those people is Bruce Kaufman, president of the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association and self-proclaimed “Mr. Mow It All.” This year’s racing season has just kicked off and Kaufman says Lawn Mower Racing is “spreading like crab grass” thanks to grassroots efforts. He figures the sport is a natural for Americans since it combines their love affair with cutting lawns with their need to see things go very fast. Plus, Kaufman says celebrity lawn mowers like “Mr. Mow Jangles,” the “Lawn Ranger” and “Weedy Gonzales” play a big part in drawing folks in.
