Only rednecks from the South, who are all related to each other, watch US lawnmower racing. The set up their lawnmovers to only turn left...

European lawnmover racers on real "lawns" are the only real racing. They have to be able to turn left and right equally well!

Keith, who was watching ice racing on The Travel Channel tonight. Now that is what I call drifting!

They mostly looked like 4WD Peugeots to me. The Travel Channel is what my wife mostly watches, though I think she couldn't keep watching this. My son enjoyed it.
