Theres an hour long program called turf rockets on discovery channel tonight about the lawn mower racing guys. Its so stupid that its cool. It come on at 7pm here, I think thats central time.
After that theres a cool show about pumpkin chunking on. Thats where the make giant air cannons and shoot pumkins for distance. Reminds me of my tater gun, I miss that thing :(
I never should have put gasoline in it :confused2

I thought the same thing. They reminded me of quads racing.
What about those pumpkin shooters, those were incredible!
Some could send them 3/4 of a mile!:eek:

I think they should customly put on some suspension and add some jumps onto the tracks. Also maybe a wheelie contest.:devious:

If im going 85mph i sure as hel! want some kind of suspension on it.Looked like it was beating them to death.That one that sat real low and wide was pretty cool.Looked like he could do donuts with no problem too.
