So the Tractor Pulling group I pull with, Yadkin Valley Pullers, sponsored a "Lawnmower" pull today. I was in town, so I told them I'd help. It was held at Lone Hickory Arena, which is a spectacular facility in Yadkin county, right off 421. IF you needed an indoor facility to do a huge event under cover, thats your place. Car Show, tractor show, Camp out for 500 boy scouts….
Id never been a a mower pull, but I was in for a surprise... Anywhoo. I was hooking the sled for the "non stock" track. So I shot a few pics of these "lawnmowers" . They have more traditional mowers with souped up engines on the other track. These few mowers I took pics of have GSXR motors are souped up. They keep the cycle dash and one even had the handle bar attached with the throttle. They spin those things up to 10K and drop the clutch. Straight headers. LOUD.
