Our club up here in b.c . Fraser valley lawnmower racing club had 30+ racers 7 years ago when I started and now down to 3. Last year was our last :(. Lots of fairs want us and would pay us to come put on a show but no racers. Me and my buddy travel 8-16 hours (one way) to race now. ( where die hard racers and really love to race and the great people there) If there's wasn't tow money available we wouldn't be able to make the races.(covers about half the fuel) Lots of people race for 5-10 years and maybe lose interest? or family things in life take over?. The main reason I think it died here is because we couldn't get a local track to have regular races on.

For the most parts mower racing is down i think, but the Forum media is prety much dead, use to go to 4-5 quad racing forum all dead now, its facebook now and its crap, the only info you see is clown doing clown thing with mower, the real die hard racer have no time for that :censored: and wont post much.

Here the club been active 15 years and its up and down , almost always the same mower count but this year seems like many new racer are being build and should be a good year, considering building something here cost 25-50% more its still good.

On a side note i use to come here on tapatalk on my phone, it wont work now so i only check here every few weeks

Potterville Sod Slingers are still racing. We had races on June 9 and 10. We had about 40 mowers on the 10th. We have more races coming up. We are on Facebook. Also Jackson speedway has mower races. We need more people to get involved. The lawn mower racing community is the best family you never knew you needed.

I didn't know about the Jackson Speedway. What classes of mowers run there? I am hoping to make it down to Potterville next weekend. There is also a race up in Standish August 1st.

Well I got two of the three covered.
