I totally agree with you Mark, as stated in the introduction of THIS
club to discuss Garden Tractor Pulling only, I don't see how
Lawnmower Racing has ANYthing remotely to do with pulling. Although
Eddie Knight has done a fine job posting mower racing info and
promoting that sport, it still has NOTHING to do with pulling and ALL
to do with Eddie, (I see NO mention of ANY intention ANYwhere of
Eddie to promote or produce anything to do with Pulling now or ever)
contrary to Bill's statement that Eddie is promoting our sport. I
don't think anyone would care to see PGA,NBA,NFL,Nascar,NHRA, or
whatever scores on here and I don't feel it fair that an exception is
being made here even if Bill is the founder of this club. Geo
