Steve Manseau, an Anza Outlook correspondent writes:

Bud “Elmow” Elmore will tell you that he is one “mowtivated” dude. The Anza resident has spent the last year and a half organizing and advocating for his brainchild, the Pacific Coast Lawn Mower Racing Association.

“I’ve been traveling up and down the coast promoting this sport,” said Elmore in a recent interview. “My goal is to ultimately get a nationally sanctioned lawn mower race here in Anza, and in other places on the West Coast.”

Sanctioning comes by way of the United States Lawn Mower Racing Association, a governing body founded in 1992 under the sponsorship of Stabil, a fuel stabilizer manufacturing company. The organization currently boasts more than 40 chapters and clubs and sponsors a national, competitive Points Championship Series.

Elmore and his fellow Anza mower enthusiasts are in the formative years of getting to the eventual goal of a Points Series race.

“We didn’t know much about the sport when we first started a year ago,” Elmore said. “But we did our research – we did some trial and error – and learned from each other.”

The United States Lawn Mower Racing Association (USLMRA) has added the Phillips County Lawn Mower Racing Association (PCLMRA) to its rapidly expanding network of Clubs and Chapters coast to coast.

Based in Phillipsburg, Kansas, the PCLMRA is under the direction of Tim “Jerb” Jerby, a 3-year racing veteran well known within the lawn mower racing community.  “We strive to put on fun, safe racing for great spectator enjoyment,” said Jerb.  “Our safety record is perfect with no injuries the past two years.  We emphasize safety and sportsmanship with no fees paid by spectators.”

The Phillips County Lawn Mower Racing Association track was built about two years ago with 150-foot straight-aways and a dogleg on the back straight surrounded by a field with different crops from year to year.  There is a large pit area and plenty of room for spectator parking.

NOTE: PHILLIPS COUNTY LMRA NOW DEFUNCT!

Update as of April 12th, 2011 – The Philips County LMRA is no longer in existence, but please contact the American Heartland Lawn Mower Racers.
