Wheels Up ... Lawmower Racing At The Fair

[CaboWabo]

At the Lake County Fair,Il some of these were going well over 60 mph with v-twin motors in them
Feel free to tell me how these could be shot better or what can be done in post to change them for the better

I love this sport!!!!!! Gawd, I wanna shoot this some day!

Thanks Derrel it was fun to see these guys race... really some of the best short track racing there is because they are pretty equal.

Is this in Chicago? I'd love to see (and photograph) one of these races too...I've never been to one before and it looks exciting...nothing to nit about your shot.

V-Twins ..... interesting

My John Deere was never that fast


Are there different classes?
The 2nd photo looks like build to spec racers
whereas the 1 and 3rd are heavily converted looking lawnmowers?

Like to see maybe some 'blurred' shots to show movement. These look as though it was a bunch of guys in leather, helmet, and such drinking beer sitting on funny looking lawnmowers.(except maybe the 'wheelie' photo)

Maybe a 'whole track' shot in pano too?





Scott (be cool if they were actually mowing) B

Yes I believe there is 7 different classes , stock all the way up to fully open modified pretty crazy but it was a blast to watch
