100 MPH Lawnmower

By John Farrier in Auto & Transportation on Dec 9, 2009 at 10:05 pm

The present landspeed record for a lawnmower is 80.792 mph. Project Runningblade, led by Stephen Vokins of the Beaulieu National Motor Museum in the UK, hopes to break that record with a lawnmower capable of reaching 100 mph. Note that these are not just small race cars made to resemble lawnmowers — they must cut grass on racing day and be manufactured by a lawnmower producer.
