Year of Invention

Look at these two sections:

• The sport was actually "invented" in 1973 in a...
• A small, rural town in Indiana has held an annual lawnmower race since 1963.

They can't both be correct...can they? Robert (talk) 15:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I noticed this one too. Any suggestions? Think outside the box 12:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I belong to an organization that started racing lawn tractors in 1969. Today we race on a high bank asphalt short track. MLTR-ASSOC.ORG

Today's Featured Picture (May 27 2008)

Pathetic! Racing lawnmowers as a 'Today's Featured Picture'. To people at the Wikipedia Foundation, use your sensibilities with regards to peak oil, environmentlaism and early-onset hearing loss. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.236.196.130 (talk) 10:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I though this one was better. Think outside the box 12:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

contradiction

"The sport was actually "invented" in 1973 in a pub in Wisborough Green"

"A small, rural town in Indiana has held an annual lawnmower race since 1963."

I attempted to resolve this discrepancy by stating the UK organization independently invented it, although I have no cite for this. In any case the website [1] for the Twelve Mile 500 does claim they've been holding the race since 1963. Nibios (talk) 17:32, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

rednecks in nebraska

Is the phrase "Rednecks in Nebraska" suitable for Wikipedia?

Never mind I fixed it.

Overall the article is good but it definitely should be expanded. An option to add on could include rules and regulations. I am sure that these vary per county or region but a general expectation for racers and their mowers could be added. This could provide simple insight to someone potentially interested in pursuing the hobby of mower racing. Vmathews102 (talk) 01:41, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

New world speed record

There is an article here] which may be useful for expansion/reference. ► Philg88 ◄ ^♦talk 06:21, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
