The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
A very fast toy this time. I think it started life as a conventional ride-on mower, but I rather suspect the engine’s been replaced by something a whole lot more powerful!
I don’t know how many blades of grass will get cut at speeds like that, but I bet the driver’s going to have fun!

I do not want my mower going that fast.
That reminds me of the "Tool Time" episode where Tim Allen upgrades the engine of his riding mower with a gas turbine engine.
That didn't end well…
10 or 20 horses is probably actually enough. The big deal is the gearing–mowers are generally geared for higher torque and lower speeds, to get you around the yard better. Changing the gearing on a regular mower will lead to some impressive speed.
It does sound like that motor has been souped up a bit.
Lawnmower racing. Seriously, its pretty bad-a**.
