EscortHeadCase Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 haha you have no idea. its a 3 man team. racing something with no suspension 2 inches off the floor across a field for 12 hours. you have to tape pens to the throttle due to after about the 3 hour mark your hand cant grip it tightly enough anymore Heres a quote from an article on the webpage "Over the years lawn mower racing has attracted motor racing legends and celebrities. Sir Stirling Moss has won both our British Grand Prix and our annual 12-Hour Race. Derek Bell, five times Le Mans winner and twice World Sports Car Champion, has won our 12 Hour twice and one of those was with Stirling. The actor Oliver Reed, who lived locally, regularly entered a team. We also feature in the Guinness Book of Records with the fastest mower over a set distance and the longest distance travelled in 12 hours."
Mr Sam Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 something ive allways liked the look of maybe not for 12 hours though
john_3.0s Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 ive been wanting to do this for ages but could never find a team mate, i even got a lawn bug ready for modifications but had to shift it in the end anyone fancy a OSF lawnmover team.....??? I got all the gear to build one but need some inspiration!
EscortHeadCase Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 If i do well at this i might build my own group 2 and use up the rest of the signal orange ive got kicking about on it.... an OSF team would be amazing.
