Welcome to a new USLMRA Affiliated Club, the Oregon-based REDNECK LAWN MOWER
RACING ASSOCIATION!

Redneck Lawnmower Racing Association (Oregon)
Ed Ashman

Sheridan, OR 97378
Phone: 503-843-2353

From Ed Ashman, himself:

I'm planning a USLMRA-sanctioned race on July 4th 2009 in Willamina, Oregon
for their town celebration (USLMRA Rules!).

I'm talking to the chairman of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
Community for their 2009 Rodeo for a half time event featuring lawn mower race
(USLMRA RULES!)

I'm talking to tribal worker Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community
about an idea I have to work with troubled youths and intertwine racing with
friendship instead of getting into future trouble

I'm training several people for racing over the next year for racing next
summmer including my youngest daughter. (she has a killer mower...a lawn bug
painted pink!).

I'm talking to several sponsor hopefuls over next several weeks. (looks good
too).

My goals: for now and the future:.

1. Meet Bruce!
2. build a super race team
3. race events with USLMRA on east and west coast
4. win a championship
5. own my own track
6. book at least 10 events next summer

Ed is very fired up and has several racers already building USLMRA-legal
mowers. I recall back in 1991 when my initial research turned me on to the three
oldest lawn mower races in the US: Loggers Jubilee, Morton, Washington;
Twelve Mile 4th of July Race, Twelve Mile, Indiana and a bar in Coos Bay, Oregon,
whose name escapes me. Racers from Twelve mile ran with USLMA 1992-1995. We
met some of the guys form Morton in 1998 and now we are ready to kick grass in
Oregon!

Welcome aboard Ed!!!!!!!!
