Don't watch 7 hours of left turn racing then go out the next day and mow your yard.
My pit crew of,well, me changed the plug in the mower, got it all gassed up with Sunocco Racing Fuel ( not really, just 87 Octane regular gas) and attacked a portion of grass today.
I kept the peddle to the medal and raced my bad boy mowing machine down the straight a way and slid into turn number one. I need to maintain a similar but slightly narrower line each lap pass as I don't want any racing strips (uncut grass) missed.
There really isn't any gas pedal. The throttle control has the picture of one of those rabbits in my garden so that's the setting I use. I was able to maintain 6th gear most of the time even while dodging some track debris (trees) in my path.
Left turn,straight,left turn,straight,left turn straight. I think you get the picture.
I came screaming into my first pit stop for fuel only. I don't have any spare tires to swap out and the grass wasn't exactly wearing out my tread. Mrs.Tyme used the extending pole to pass a cool beverage over the pit wall to my waiting hand and the entire pit stop (slow down) lasted 1.0 seconds.
Our yard isn't as smooth as the greens on Pebble Beach so the bumps and humps resulted in most of the beverage handed to me being more of a fertilizer to the grass than a slacker of thirst for this driver.
