the lawnmower engine's revenge against everyone who said it would never amount to anything.

means A small, low, open-framed motor vehicle used for racing or recreation, typically with no suspension and a tiny engine, driven low to the ground.

from A respelled, snappier version of 'cart' — itself from Old Norse 'kartr' or a related Old English root, a humble word for a small wheeled vehicle. When motorized go-carts took off in the mid-20th century, the playful 'k' spelling stuck, giving us 'kart' and 'karting' as the sport's own distinct badge, separate from the workaday horse-drawn 'cart.'
