Lawn mower designer and technician Bobby Cleveland should be hailed as an everyman's American hero. Cleveland recently clocked a world record speed of 96.529 MPH in his self-designed lawn mower. More importantly, he reclaimed the title of "World's Fastest Lawn Mower Speed" from Don Wales, a British man who held the previous land speed lawn mower record at 87.833 MPH. U-S-A. U-S-A. Check out a video of Cleveland setting the record at Utah's famed Bonneville Salt Flats after the jump.
