Sta-Bil Celebrates 25 Years Of Mower Racing
Sta-Bil Fuel Stabilizer and The U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association (USLMRA) will celebrate the 25th birthday of American lawnmower racing with an international turf battle featuring the British Lawn Mower Racing Association, July 28-30 at Bowles Farms in Clements, Md. This battle will take place during the 13th Annual St. Mary’s County National Lawn Mower Races.
The races will feature competitors from 17 states along with the return of the British Lawn Mower Racing Assn. (BLMRA), which last visited American shores in 2000 for the Rider Cup. “When the British last visited America, they kicked grass with their own machines they brought from England,” quips USLMRA President Bruce Kaufman. “This time the British will be racing on machines provided by their American counterparts, so anything mows!”
British Team members include current and former British and World Champions who have raced in England, Germany, France and Luxembourg. American racers include racing champions from Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The British Race Weekend will also feature the annual induction ceremonies for the National Lawn Mower Racing Hall of Fame. On Sunday, July 30, the Rocket Man Racing Team and a surprise honoree will be inducted into the Hall. Led by Pat “Rocket Man” Sullivan of Venice, Fla., Rocket Man Racing features three generations including Pat, his son, daughter, son-in-law and four grandchildren.
Founded on April 1, 1992, the USLMRA was closely modeled after the BLMRA, which started in 1973. Both groups share the same values and vision: Never race for money, race for fun, always display good sportsmanship and raise money for good causes. The British Race Weekend will benefit the 7th District Rescue Squad of St. Mary’s County Maryland and the St. Mary’s County Optimist Club.
