      Thanks for watching my fellow Kentuckian. This video is 10 years old. Lawn mower demos are rather common, now. If interest is shown by enough people who want to enter, local promoters will add it to local demolition derbies. You just gotta let 'em know. Good luck!

When she went to exit her ride she got accidental bump from another mower that was being rammed. And she still got mad.

I yearn for just one more game like the addled need one more hit.

    For anyone who thinks it's just like bumper cars. Go get on your riding mower and run it FULL SPEED into a tree about 10 times. Then double or triple the hit you take cause in a derby your not just hitting a stationery object. You get head on collisions and multiple mowers hitting you at once. Just saying... that's all

    What kind of demolition derby is this when theyre using like 1/8" thick steel tubing, plate, and such that's equivalent to tank armor on these tractors that are lucky to reach like 5 miles per hour in mud...and no I dont expect people to get hurt but at least want to see something having at least a little bit more ability to cause damage to the tractors.
    I mean imagine if the cars in demolition derbies had 1/4" thick steel armor....no radiators would get smashed, no bumpers would get shoved into their tires binding them up, and just hardly any damage to the vehicle which is the reason for a DEMOLITION derby...yes the root word of demolition is DEMOLISH ;o)
