It’s the “National Association of X-Treme Lawn Tractor Racing”
Weekend event on ESPN 4 (“The Quad”) (sponsored by Blue-Star Ointment and
Anheuser Busch). Who will take the coveted Bagger’s Cup? Will it be
Clay “The Clip Man” Carver, from Harker, Tennessee and Team John Deere?
Or will it be the sleeper cell, Chuck “Chowder-head” Ditmore from Westville,
Maryland with his famed Team Troy-Bilt?
Personally, I wouldn’t count out “Big BK” Bill Keaton and Team
Husqvarna from Larter, Indiana. Bill showed incredible poise in last
month’s Precision Chipping and Edging event in Brandonburg, South Carolina even
after it started thunder-storming. The fact that he’s back so soon after
a lightning strike says to me that Bill Keaton is in it to win. But Team
Husqvarna’s time trials have been a little less than stellar while breaking in
a totally rebuilt lawn tractor. Is it nerves or is it strategy? You
can bet that we’ll be keeping our eye on the orange tractor this fourth of July
weekend.
(I was
totally joking when I wrote this. However, upon trying to find a possible
picture to accompany this, I have learned of the United States Lawn Mower
Racing Association (USLMRA). To learn more about what may well be the the most
exciting thing to happen to wheeled racing, please visit: www.letsmow.com.)
