      Thanks for watching my fellow Kentuckian. This video is 10 years old. Lawn mower demos are rather common, now. If interest is shown by enough people who want to enter, local promoters will add it to local demolition derbies. You just gotta let 'em know. Good luck!

    Thanks for watching. I don't know much about the specifics because I just make the videos. I do know the fortified tanks were not allowed to enter the last time they showed up. From now on, I think they want the lawn mowers to look like lawn mowers, not panzers.

    Yeah, it's not a level playing field. It's like Panzer's against Cub Cadet's. However, the mower derbies are fairly new and will hopefully evolve with more classes added and maybe some weight restrictions.

But notice she is still trying to get her mower to move. And does. If you don't exit your ride you're going to get hit. When she went to exit her ride she got accidental bump from another mower that was being rammed. And she still got mad.

By the time the conference tournaments are played, the brackets are announced and the first weekend of the NCAA tourney is played I am exhausted and addicted. I yearn for just one more game like the addled need one more hit.
      Baseball Opening Day (Cin. Reds) and The Kentucky Derby are the only sports that come close to the excitement of March Madness for me.

    For anyone who thinks it's just like bumper cars. Go get on your riding mower and run it FULL SPEED into a tree about 10 times. Then double or triple the hit you take cause in a derby your not just hitting a stationery object. You get head on collisions and multiple mowers hitting you at once. Just saying... that's all

    I see all Deere 100 series mowers at the end ruling this thing. Looks like 2 Deere 130's and Lx172 or 180.... All Deere mowers at the end.. U can't bend them old Deere frames with a sLedge hammer. I know we tried that here..

    There's a lot of teaming up in mower derbies. The poor little thing didn't have the dozer to play with some of these guys.
