From ExploreHoward.com:

On a dust-choked Saturday afternoon, souped-up riding lawn mowers spun a fine mist of field dirt in the air as their drivers steered around turns and down the stretch on a make-shift track at Cypress Field.

Laurel’s first-ever lawn mower races and chili cook-off took the field Sept. 19 when competitors from the Delmarva chapter of the  U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association brought their mowers to the fields adjacent to the DiPietro Community Center on Cypress Street.

From The Marion Star:

As he reflected upon his recent election to the new lawn mower racing Hall of Fame, which will be housed in the near future in his own business, Marion’s Chuck Miller was as calm and collected as he is on the track.

“To be in the hall is cool and to have it at my shop is cooler yet,” Miller quietly said prior to last weekend’s STA-BIL Keeps Gas Fresh Finals on the Delaware County fairgrounds.

It was announced last week that the United States Lawn Mower Racing Association Hall of Fame would be located at Miller Lawn and Power Equipment at 1299 Harding Highway E., a facility Miller owns.

“We were looking for a location where there was a retail business that is open all of the time,” said Bruce Kaufman, president and founder of the USLMRA. “Chuck volunteered his building and we agreed.”
