“We’re looking forward to many more great racing events hosted by our friends in Fifield,” said WILMRA President Randy Stys, of Eagle River.  “Many of WILMRA’s first races were held in Fifield and the town is near and dear to Wisconsin lawn mower racers.  They have a great track, strong spectator turnout and great family fun.” 

Proceeds from the races benefit the Fifield Fire Department.

WILMRA is one of more than 20 USLMRA Local Chapters nationwide and hosts 8-10 races at fairs, festivals, towns and race tracks across Wisconsin.  WILMRA races feature six classes of racing on riding lawn mowers with all cutting blades removed at speeds up to 60 mph. Racers compete for points, trophies and bragging rights. There are no cash prizes. All WILMRA events are USLMRA sanctioned.

   
2008 WILMRA races also include the Lafayette Co Fair, Darlington WI Sunday, June 29th and the Bayfield Co Fair, Iron River WI. Saturday, August 23rd.

The USLMRA was created in 1992 and sanctions more than 100 races annually across the country. 

The USLMRA and its STA-BIL National Lawn Mower Racing Series is televised on Speed TV and the Outdoor Channel and has been featured on ESPN2, the Discovery Channel and the TV sitcom, “Home Improvement,” as well as in the New York Times, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, the Wall Street Journal and The Paul Harvey Radio Network.

USLMRA sponsors include STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer, which keeps stored gas fresh for quick, easy engine starts as well as 104+ Octane Boost, HEET Gas-Line Antifreeze, No Leak Automotive Sealers and Diesel Power.

At the request of the Fifield Fire department, we will be moving the Memorial weekend race back from Sunday June 1st to Sunday May 25th (with Memorial day being recognized Monday the 26th)

This race as well as the 4th of July race will be a DOUBLE WILMRA POINTS race with twice the racing (Back Two Back Features) going on....

This will be an excellent time to gather points for the WILMRA Championship Awards in your class..

As always there is no entry fees for racers, We are Fully insured, and proceeds from fund raising efforts will be going to help support the Fifield Volunteer Fire Department.

So make plans now to come up to Northern Wisconsin for some of the finest Lawnmower racing in the State on the States Premier Track in Fifield Wisconsin 54524.
