We always enjoy it when the latest joke-laden press release from the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association finds its way into our inbox. This time, the USLMRA promotes its upcoming race season while having a little fun at the NFL’s expense.
As the NFL deals with the bounty scandal, the USLMRA boasts that its STA-BIL Lawn and Garden Mower Racing Series participants only compete for “trophies, lemonade and bragging rights” and have avoided any hint of scandal after 20 years of “cutting edge competition.”
“We’re a family of racers who compete fair and square, a real slice of Americana, featuring American ingenuity and true-blue sportsmanship. There’s no place for bounties in the STA-BIL Lawn and Garden Mower Racing Series,” says U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association Founder and President Bruce ‘Mr. Mow It All’ Kaufman. “Well, we’re ‘virtually’ scandal-free. I’m still trying to find the racer who stole my beer at the driver’s party after the 1998 STA-BIL Nationals in Rockford, Illinois. Rumor has it either Sodzilla or Mudweiser is the culprit.”
Founded on April Fool’s Day 1992 in conjunction with Title Sponsor STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer, the USLMRA, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2012 and will announce a series of special events and festivities on its 20th birthday, April 1, 2012.
The U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association sanctions and presents organized lawn mower racing across America including the 20-race STA-BIL Lawn and Garden Mower Racing Series, a U.S. Open National Series, Local Traveling Chapters and Home Track Affiliated Clubs, hosting 140 events each year.
