Hunter killed it! Paul drove like he stole it!
Paul is definitely a derby driver no matter what he is racing.
Yea, they had the whole field beat bad if Paul had any racing finesse. Can't just plow into the turns and expect to keep it on the racing surface..
I got to say, Hunter really showed up Paul n this race.
I think Paul hit everyone on the track once,Hunter was the man for sure.
You can the driver out of the demo derby, but you can’t take the demo derby out of the driver!
If your not bumping, your not racing😂
@@jamesbrown724 That bump pass was perfect ✓
Smooth is fast, fast is smooth. Paul way to aggressive. Hunter had it dialed in.
Grayden
"are you part of the Fab Rats?". 🤣 At least she was appreciating the help!
"I am the Fab Rat".
I see Grayden being the carbon copy of Paul. You can see how he was so proud of his fabrication of the mowers done by himself.
His reaction😂 to getting rear ended from his buddy was priceless and his excitement for Jack winning was the highlight. I think it pretty hard to pick the real winner in all of this the parents, participants, viewers, specators?
I agree. Grayden is growing so quickly. I noticed his voice has changed. Paul is a great father/role model.
Like father, like son.
Paul’s at his best when he’s working with his kids.
@@t.l.robinson2162 Grayden - aka Paul Jr.
"I found it at the dump, got it running and drove it home". Apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. Respect to you, Greydon
CLASSSSIC!!!! That was funny as hell. And something many of us has said more than once!
Old Man? When I was born the Dead Sea was only sick!
LOL!!
😂😂😂
Never heard that one before! Good one!
😂😂😂😂
"Are you guys the Fab Rats?" -- "We are the Fab Rats!" ... that needs to be a new t-shirt! =)
I would buy that T-Shirt!!😊😊
This is exactly what I said at that moment! No ….. “We are the FabRats!”. Paul, you are the MAN!
@@mikemullay5622 Yup, 100%! =)
Reminds me of: “I’m ON the BRUTE SQUAD” … “you ARE the brute squad”
"We are the fab rats"
I love the small town events that build community.
Paul is a menace on the track. Move or get moved! 😂
Dang Rowdy Burns out there.
move or get mowed
Paul plays dirty.
Move it or milk it!!!
I was waiting for Landon to slam into the back of the wrecker. Ur a trusting man Mr. Cox.
I enjoy this so much. As an old man, I just wanted to thank you, Paul, for being the man you are. I can see your boys looking up to you and remembering these things that you do with and for them. Perhaps they will also pass these memories down to their children when the time comes. Now, about groaning when getting into a vehicle. As a really old man, "66 years young, " I generally fall into a vehicle and crawl out of it. But hey, the groaning helps to cover the popping and cracking of my old stiff joints. But the GOOD LORD keeps blessing me to get up and work a part-time job. Seriously, I have the utmost respect for you and Shawn, Hunter, and all of you from FAB RATS.
Paul's got a serious case of whiskey throttle😂😂
I really don't think he ever lifted !
I agree completely!
Just gotta hang on and lean harder to the left!
Nobody mentioning Jack's taking the win, and was the most nervous of them all. Congrats Jack or Jax we (wife and I) was routing for you after graders fell of the race.
The boy earned himself a bit of much needed self confidence that afternoon. 👍
I loved the bro hug after the race.
"I'm gunna blow it up". Apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
😂
The disappointment in Paul’s face after the race. Such a Big Kid at heart. You da Best Paul. Congratulations Sean, only one winner
Graders growing up fast. Turning from a boy to a young man before my very eyes.
He's always been my favorite kid ! Nothing bad for the rest of the young adults.
I really noticed that in this video as well, he isnt a little boy any longer, he has turned into a young man before our eyes.
Dude, Hunter is a good kid. His family should be proud of him, he’s a solid young man. Plus, he takes a good ribbing from the old boys and laughs along. Good stuff.
Hunter has become one of the "good old boys"! He' a good friend to have!
He takes after his Dad. He has a YT channel as well, Sawdust and Lugnuts. It's an enjoyable channel.
Indeed. He also clearly knows smooth is fast.
Wholesome entertainment for the entire family. Well done. Speaking of "well done", here's a special thumbs up for young Jack.
Hunter was ripping that track up
The smile on the young fellas face. When reving tractor was priceless
Man, Hunter was KILLIN IT !!!!! Smooth is fast, and he showed how it was done.
Paul driving like he had a roll cage on there!🤣
Read a LOT of comments on another site about the Mower race! Lots of folks who dont know a thing say you were overpowered and that is why you went off track MORE THEN ONCE !!! But that is not the case ! Paul was just over driving the Corners had he BACKED UP HIS TURNS he could have gone FASTER ! There is a ART to going fast and I have raced many laps ! The other thing needed to REALLY GO FASTER Would have been about 2 inches of STAGGER in the RF and 3 or 4 inches of STAGGER in the RR ! Having STAGGER REALLY REALLY HELPS to ROTATE the turn ! then Adding about 1/4 inch of TOE OUT Helps keep it going STRAIGHT ! With the radius of those turns a Little ACKERMAN in the left front would really let it enter on the inside ! But its a MOWER NOT A SPRINTCAR Hope this helps and we see these improvements built into the next go round!!!
You're just saying that Paul is a bad driver 😁Hunter managed the power without issues.
@@yomauser But was Hunter running wide open or not?
@@yomauser YOU SAID THAT NOT ME He was just driving in WAY TO DEEP Guess you cant read the dam comment right
Yeah Paul just never lifted . Hunter lifted going into the turn then was back wide open mid turn ✓ plus I think the bike bars work better than the wheel on them too
Hunter is considerably lighter than Paul, making him more maneuverable in the corners. There's no doubt that tweaking the suspension would be a great idea no matter what.
Glad to see "Graders" in this video
Grayden invented chariot style lawn tractor racing, loading them on the truck to go home. Pretty cool. Always makes my day better when I get to watch "We ARE the Fab Rats"!
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Hunter was killing it.
I just had to get on and let you know how much I enjoy your channel. I love seeing you doing things with your kids. Hunter fits into your family so well that when you do things like this mower race he helps your kids just like an older brother. The race was fun to watch and look forward to next year. I also enjoy watching your recoveries a some times really funny,to watch. Michelle adds a lot to the channel as does Grandma. Don’t change anything as this is the best there is on KZhead. Thanks for all your work getting these on Michelle.
You guys make my day. Paul is an awesome fabricator with great help from the crew. Hunter, Shawn, and Paul's son's make some really cool rides. Keep it up.
Quite often Paul makes things look easier than they actually are. Today it was Hunters turn.
You can tell hunter rides a quad.
Fun times, Grayden will grow up with the same enthusiasm like daddy have.
Hunter is by far one bad a$$ driver. Man he drove the wheels off that mower. Great job hunter.
I love when Grayden said “I know what is WRONG with it…..it ain’t got no gas!”. Perfect timing!
A lot of us didn’t grow up with a great dad like you, Paul. Thank you for being a good dad.
My husband did this on the weekend's when he didn't have to work at the coal mines he loved it and watched the video today and he said thank's febRats crew for him can't wait to see the next video
Best channel on KZhead! Love y’all !
Man, we need to get a Association of Lawn Mower Racing here in eastern NC on the beach!!! I'm all in for that!!
Paul is a menace on a lawnmower😂😂
The driver of the Odyssey was cool. Lots of respect for someone that asks questions on how they can improve to not make the same mistakes.
Grayden looks like he grew 3", since the last time we saw him.
What amazes me the most is how fast the kids grow.❤❤
Hunter was stone cold on that track. Never seen him so locked in haha
Taking out the competition lol Paul is the Goat for sure....
I can appreciate Michelle's pep talk to Jack/Jax. Helped his courage to pull it out!
Underrated comment. That was Momma Bear gold.
Was nice to see Hunter come through. So used to seeing him just send it and break everything. He was definitely smooth and fast this time.
Hunter killed it! Nice driving bro.
Paul, you looked like a dart without feathers out there! You were trying waay too hard. Hunter, you were fast! Entertaining as always!
Paul just had that competition bug as always. Nothing wrong with that! 👍
@@bradbundy1471 "Nothing wrong with that"... If having the competition bug means you're slower then there's definitely something wrong with that. Paul might have been faster on his best lap but he was inconsistent and lost because of it. He said at the end it would have been better if Hunter drove the whole race so Paul knew he stuffed it up.
I think Paul needs to learn the art of "Break into and throttle out of the corner" like Hunter was. Paul is too use to foot flat 😂😂 Another great episode Fab Rats Fam glad y'all had fun out there 🙌🏾
Loved the look on Paul's face when he replied, "We are the FabRats!" KUDOS!
Good thing you had Hunter as a co-pilot 🙂 He knows how to stay on the track 🙂
Hunter had his rhythm going and looked smooth out there Paul not so much but has the killer instinct. Next year you all need to lower the cg on your tractor like a couple of the other tractors and you will kill them all!
Started running a family friend's hopped mower when I was 6. Following year, I was knee-deep in go karting. Ran for 3 years... did pretty good.. always placed.
Hunter was killing it.👍
Hunter is doing amazing 🎉🎉🎉
That looks like so much fun.... but at the same time, my back hurts just watching, LOL. Thanks for sharing!
Hunter was for sure the better driver on the track that day. Go get em next time boys.
Paul and sons Fabrats we make things happen !
1:55 The jeep driver ANCHORED himself deeper as soon as you started pulling, by digging his front tires into a deeper hole, and then turning the front wheels SIDEWAYS to make it much harder to move him forward. Great play, Shakespeare.
Fab rats do what they do. Love it when Paul helps the boys. To me it makes great content.
NICE Turn-of-Events for Jack 👍 from : " i'm not a good driver " to: RARING + READY for the next race 🏁 🏆 👏
Shoulda let Hunter drive the whole race
Great Day Had By All !!!!!! WOW what memories you have made and traditions to look forward to. Paul, You and Hunter have made a great team. Hats off to Grayden he's a chip off the old block !!!!!
That is a fast lawnmower.im impressed on how hunter drove it like a pro.
Dang, Grayden's getting Big. That looked like SO much Fun, ty for taking us along
Hunter is talented at lawn mower racing.
Such fun, And Hunter was RIPPIN out there !
Hunter you killed it in the mower race
I got a kick out of the pit maneuver. looked like how Dale Earnhardt got his start. Love watching family doing family things, enjoy life to the fullest.
Hunter is so good they made him run with a handicap...a serious handicap.
@ 5:12 Props to Mom adventuring with the van full 👍😎✊ My Mom did the same with her gang in her VW Bus
Paul, you are living right! Fun with the kids like this is something to be cherished
Hunter tore that track up!
See that boy smiling is why dad's take the time to make sure you are successful in life.
Hunter was doing some darn fine driving, all the ripping around on his 4 wheeler gave him some good speed mower skills!!🤘🏁
I agree with a comment made earlier. “We ARE the FabRats” needs to be a t-shirt 🤘
Win or lose, using the jump pack and getting back in the race was BOSS!!
Hunter drove like a pro
What a fun time! I couldn’t stop smiling.
This event has potential. With some Fab Rats backing and advertising you all could make this huge.
I like that "We are the FABRATS" that's awesome!!!
It's so cool to watch Paul enjoy teaching his children how to maintaining their toys 😂😂😅😅
Jack was the star of this video. Hunter that was some nice driving, careful you don't become a flab rat and lose your edge.
I love that Grayden made mowers into demo mowers thats totally the type of stuff i would have done as a kid. Very awesome
No one has ever woken up to mow the lawn ever with that much enthusiasm.
I’ve never seen Paul as happy as he was starting the mowers in the shop.
Favorite quote of the year so far. "We are the Fab Rats" Well done. To bad the mower stalled but looked like a blast.
For real Hunter was dominating the race, taking those turns with grace. And then Paul came in like a wrecking ball. Hahahhaha. Super fun to watch.
Grayden is getting big fast! Could only imagine He’s going to be working hard in that shop with you guys in the next couple years
"LOOK AT THAT ONE-HANDED DRIVING RIGHT THERE!!!" (peak fab rats experience right there as a young buck)
The boy that dies with the most toys wins. Paul is miles ahead of the competition.
Great show, Paul's derby car experience put to the test.. Need to add a Turtle Race to the program, the last mower moving is the winner
Hunter was kicking butts out there. Great fun great video 🎉
Grayden seems so exited when he gets the mower working all by himself we need to see a video where Paul makes grayden a off road mower and grayden takes is out rock crawling.
love the Announcer of the race. "you can tell hunter don't have kids yet, he's flyin" i laughed pretty good
The culmination to the Lawnmower race was the Best video ! Graydon’s growin up fast. Watching Graydon goin out and Rippin it up is like Paul in his younger day. Hunter Ripped it up too! Too bad Paul drove into the side dirt or else he would have Won. Ur Lawnmower was FAST Paul. Next year. Graydons friend was scared, but now got Bit by the Lawnmower bug. Thks to Paul for havin a spare to drive🤙😎
Very cool to see Graden's buddy winning!!!
What a fantastic day with the family and Friends. Your boys are going to be just like you Paul and that's a good thing you're a good man. I like your style.
Best video ever, watching the kids race the mowers.
That red mower in the adult race had the best design with its lower center of gravity. Everyone else was sitting to high nearly flipping them in the turns
