Lill Dixie out of Hunstville Alabama. Claim to have the fastest zero-turn cutting at 55mph with the pto ingaged 68 without with a 30hp Briggs with some sort of turbo charger, looks goofy big ass motor on the back with 80lbs of weight on the front to keep her from pulling straight wheelies. I'll try to find the link they got a video clip of this monster in action.

I've seen lawn tractor racing on Speed Channel before. Its pretty funny. I just have a 17hp, 42 inch cutting deck on my tractor.

But, to be honest, I'd much rather have one of these:

Mitsu tractors are kind of hard to find in the US. Plus they have diesel engines and are not quite as practical to use for just lawn mowing duty. But I still want one.

With all due respect to those in this thread, I am continually amazed at why people purchase riding lawn mowers from stores like Lowes, Home Depot, etc. The mowers which end up at those stores are cheapened up versions of what the traditional lawn and garden stores carry. Plus, where do you go for service? There is a reason why you don't see Snapper lawn mowers at chain stores.

On another note, if you want to make your hydrostatic-drive lawn mower go faster without adjusting the engine governor, shim the spring on the relief valve. :D
