I am reminded of a couple of mower or tractor stories...
one, the brother of Doc Watson, Merle, in whose memory
Merlefest happens every year, died when the tractor he was
riding tipped over on him. I do not think he was driving
in in the field, plowing or planting, he was on the way
to or from a party...

then i remembered there is a lawn mower racing association and here is site for
turf mower sports
