As many of you mow I am shooting a documentary on the sport of lawn mower racing. If you have not yet seen it the trailer is at
http://www.mowermovie.com. In two years of following the sport I have heard many people talk about "outlaw" racing but have not yet been to one. If there is anyone in PA, NJ, MD, VA, WV, and NC who engages in outlaw racing I would love to hear from you.
I am going to try and get down to an AMRA race this year. Looking at the 3 tracks they are using in 2009 they all seem to be 5 hours from my home in Washington, DC. If I make it to a race perhaps there will be something going on other than just the race to justify the drive. Perhaps a racer going to buy a used mower or an invitation from a racer to film him working on his mower either the day before or after the race.
Thanks,
