St Mary's /Bowles Farms STA-BIL Turf Battle Weekend July 11 & 12,
2008 in Clements, MD
Race Fans!
Mower Racing returns to Beautiful Bowles Farm, in (Clements,
Maryland) on July 11 & 12, with a U.S. National Points Double Header
under the lights
As in the past if you have not raced at Bowles Farms you will
be "AMAZED"! Tommy and Tina Bowles along with St Mary's County spare
no expense when it comes to putting on a Great Venue. In just a few
years they have gone from one LC race to now hosting one of the
premiere National Double Header Weekends in the Country. The track is
guaranteed to be extremely fast as in the past. It is 30 feet wide,
over 700 feet long, and as fassssst and smooth as smooth can be. As
in years past it has covered grandstands, hay bails for miles, pit
parking for everyone, track help by the truck load, Air Conditioned
restrooms, camping room for an army of racers and mow; however there
will be no hook ups for campers and RV's. Restrooms are open until 10
pm daily and they will also have portable facilities.
This is a lawn mower racing event for the whole family to attend with
Other Activities Including Children's Rides, Moon Bounce, Barrel
Rides, Kiddy Tractor Pull, John Deere Toy Display, Fire Prevention
Trailer, K-9 Demonstrations and Antique Tractors on Display, Face
Painting, and Life size Boxing Robots
. Check out
www.bowlesfarm.com/ and click on the flier for all the
details. Last year over 9,000 spectators witnessed 2 days of
spectacular racing.
This year drivers will be provided to meals on Friday and again on
Saturday.
There will be no racer fee for both days both days. There will be
only one entrance for the racers to come in to the pits, thus when
