Sand fly in the sky, several young guys are
riding their special tools power tiller
on the farm land. This scenery happened in the World Championship Power Tiller
Race (Saturday) hold afternoon at the Emerson PurpleHull Pea Festival.
The pea PurpleHull Festival in Emerson, Arkansas (population 359), the Weyerhaeuser 200 World Championship Power Tiller game was called "The highlight of the tiller racing season." pays homage to this wonderful tasty legume with its itinerant and historic past "rotary power tiller thriller" is indeed a highlight.
The event not to be named for the number of laps, but the track length: 200 feet. Since 1990, competitors have rushed into the race two categories: stock, tiller drive, just like the factory and modify riders can run you dare.
The stock rules apply here, but the
competitors are all boys 17 and under. Despite their prowess with a tiller,
none has yet to cultivate growth on their own chests.
Another stock division, but for girls 17
and under, none of whom would trade a mirror and blush for the natural glow
that a nice dusty run across a field brings.
Competitors are 18 and up, and they race
modified tillers of at least 100 horsepower, equipped with a "kill
switch" that connects the ignition of the engine to the rider's wrist.
Their machine's steel tines must show "some resemblance of digging or
slinging dirt."
In this "true" tiller modified
class, machines run through a tiller
gearbox (transmission) and can reach speeds over 20 miles per hour. The world
record here: Shane Waller flew across the 200 feet in 5.72 seconds, averaging
24 miles per hour.
These are stock races using 2-horsepower tillers for boys 10 and under. All boys
must have successfully demonstrated that they can take care of their
radish-sprout-in-a-Dixie-cup school project in order to enter the competition. Same
thing, but for girls who are willing to race without putting streamers on the
tiller's handlebars or a basket in front so their favorite stuffed animal can
race, too.
