The North West Lawn Mower Racing Association staged its annual race over the weekend in Kirkham to help raise money for Ukraine.
Lawn mower racing – fondly referred to as ‘the grass roots of motor sport’ – was started back in 1973 by an Irishman called Jim Gavin, who, with a bunch of mates had gone down to a pub in Sussex to discuss his latest motorsport idea.
Take a look at some terrific pics from the event.
