Congratulations to our friends in Twelve Mile, Indiana, home of America's oldest lawn mower race! I recall the summer of 1992 when the Troyer Brothers, Mark Lowe and the legendary Don Lambert welcomed me with open arms to show their July 4 race that year.
Then, Septmeber 5, 1992 the Troyer Brothers raced in the first STA-BIL Nationals. Billy Champ, a racer from Twelve Mile in the FX Class was beating Chuck Miller with one lap to go when his gas tank fell off! Tough luck for Billy.
Fast forward a few years and we saw the Troyer Brothers race USLMRA for a few years.
FYI, the second oldest race in the USA is the annual Loggers Jubilee Race in Morton, Washington. USLMRA had a chance to meet and run with the Morton group back in 1998, and had a lot of fun!
Mow on Twelve Mile!!!!!
