Entertaining piece on mower racing

To the editor:

I felt compelled to write you about the article in Sunday's paper ("Keeping off the grass to get down and dirty") concerning the 91 Raceway activities in Bell City, Mo. I found this to be one of the best written and most entertaining articles that I have read in any newspaper. For a moment, I was thinking that I had started reading "The Ransom of Red Chief" or an excerpt from "Run With the Horsemen." Tony Rehagen is to be commended on a piece well-done. My only regret is that my wife disposed of the paper before I could save the article.
