British Lawn Mower Racing event at Knebworth Country Fair, Britain - 03 Oct 2009

British Lawn Mower Racing event at Knebworth Country Fair, Britain - 03 Oct 2009
MOVE OVER F1 THE LAWNMOWERS HAVE IT
A host of men and women have put their mowing machines into action at the finale of the British lawn mower racing season.
Members of the British Lawn Mower Racing Association gathered at the Knebworth Game and Country Show for the grand showdown.
The lawn mower racing season runs from May to October over 12 separate meets, building to a finale weekend.
In total, 40 entrants went to mow at Knebworth, fighting it out to be named lawn mower racing champion.
The noble sport of lawnmower racing was born in 1973 when rally driving Irishman Jim Galvin got together with a group of racing enthusiastic friends for a couple of pints at the Cricketers Arms in Wisborough Green, West Sussex.
Fed up with the prohibitive cost of motor sports they decided to look for an alternative, and it wasn't long before their eyes fell upon the humble lawn mower.
And not much has changed in the quarter of a century since the sport's humble beginnings.
As with motor racing, four different classes of machine exist. Group 1 machines are the most basic and require someone to walk behind. Group 2 mowers are roller driven with the seat being towed behind. Group 3 represent the smaller four wheeled garden tractors, while the most powerful of all are the larger Group 4 class, which resemble a baby agricultural tractor.
In order to keep costs down, and so keep the sport accessible, machines can only be tuned rather than redesigned.
And there is no shortage of enthusiasts, including mechanic Mike Cresswell, who went into the race at Knebworth as leader of category 2 and the man to beat.

British Lawn Mower Racing event at Knebworth Country Fair, Britain - 03 Oct 2009
MOVE OVER F1 THE LAWNMOWERS HAVE IT
A host of men and women have put their mowing machines into action at the finale of the British lawn mower racing season.
Members of the British Lawn Mower Racing Association gathered at the Knebworth Game and Country Show for the grand showdown.
The lawn mower racing season runs from May to October over 12 separate meets, building to a finale weekend.
In total, 40 entrants went to mow at Knebworth, fighting it out to be named lawn mower racing champion.
The noble sport of lawnmower racing was born in 1973 when rally driving Irishman Jim Galvin got together with a group of racing enthusiastic friends for a couple of pints at the Cricketers Arms in Wisborough Green, West Sussex.
Fed up with the prohibitive cost of motor sports they decided to look for an alternative, and it wasn't long before their eyes fell upon the humble lawn mower.
And not much has changed in the quarter of a century since the sport's humble beginnings.
As with motor racing, four different classes of machine exist. Group 1 machines are the most basic and require someone to walk behind. Group 2 mowers are roller driven with the seat being towed behind. Group 3 represent the smaller four wheeled garden tractors, while the most powerful of all are the larger Group 4 class, which resemble a baby agricultural tractor.
In order to keep costs down, and so keep the sport accessible, machines can only be tuned rather than redesigned.
And there is no shortage of enthusiasts, including mechanic Mike Cresswell, who went into the race at Knebworth as leader of category 2 and the man to beat.

Eunice Shriver Dies At 88
EUNICE SHRIVER DIES AT 88
Eunice Shriver, sister of JFK, has died at the age of 88.
The mother of Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger had been ill for some time and had been admitted to Cape Cod Hospital in Massachusetts after suffering several strokes.
Sister to Senator Edward 'Ted' Kennedy, Eunice was known for her extensive work with the disabled, having founded a world movement for rights of the mentally handicapped in 1962, which would eventually develop into the Special Olympics.
All this was inspired by the predicament of her older sister Rosemary Kennedy, who was left severely mentally disabled after a prefrontal lobotomy intended to correct behavioural problems cut away vital parts of her brain.
Eunice Shriver, whose husband Sargent organized the US Peace Corps under his brother-in-law's administration, started a special camp at her home in suburban Maryland outside Washington DC in 1962.
The intention was to "explore" the capabilities of "adults with intellectual disabilities" for sports and physical activities, according to the Special Olympics' website.
In 1968, just weeks after the assassination of another brother, Robert, who was running for the Democratic presidential nomination, Shriver launched the first International Special Olympics Summer Games.
They attracted 1,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities from 26 US states and Canada to compete in track and field and swimming.
By 2008, the Special Olympics celebrated its 40th anniversary, drawing nearly 3 million athletes from more than 180 countries to the event that followed the regular Olympic Games in Beijing.
Shriver's influence on her brother, the former president, is credited with the push in 1963 to pass the first law in US history to protect and support the rights of the mentally disa...
