People will race anything

Slightly off topic because it's straightline racing but still pretty cool.

Any type of racing is cool but unless you have a football field size garden those might be hard to handle! We use to qualify and race our bicycles 30 years ago at our fairgrounds where the track is. We would go between the wall and the front row of the grandstand by turn one, then through the tunnel past the beer stand then behind the grandstand back to the front stretch. This whole area was paved and we timed with a stopwatch then lined up heats and a feature for a complete show. I remember a few guys walking home cause there bikes got totaled! One time a guy got put into the fence along the frontstretch wall and had his cheek cut open from the fence on the track! It was only bicycles, but we raced hard!

I would drive right past a NAPCAR race to see that.

Some of those things still have tines on them. What happen if they spin out and come back after the operator?

Tha difference between a pro racer and a non-pro racer is that when you see you're going to crash, the non-pro says " this could hurt". The pro says " This is going to hurt".

Some of them look like the tines are the wheels that power them. This video shows a motorcycle engine powered tiller. More videos on Youtube.
