USLMRA Races / Another PALMRA race cancellation......
« on: October 15, 2011, 01:17:19 pm »
PALMRA's Fawn Grove events are canceled for Sunday, October 16 2011.  With the weather that moved through the area on Friday and Saturday, the track is in no condition to race.  We also wanted to make a decision early enough for those that have to travel in could make other plans.

There is another option for racing in the area that is neaither PALMRA or USLMRA sanctioned.  Visit www.HEYMOW.com for info concerning that race.

Please plan to be at the Awards Banquet, we will see you there.

Non-Affiliated Races / PA event 10/15/11
« on: October 11, 2011, 09:36:29 pm »
There is an AMA motorcycle race this Saturday in Lampeter PA in southern Lancaster County, that has requested lawn mower racing during their intermission.  This is a flat dirt track that is well prepared.  I do not know the size.  If you are interested in racing at this event we are looking for 10 to 12 racers.  We will accept racers in any classes recognized by the USLMRA or ARMA.  Please contact me for more info and to confirm your spot.  This is a first come first serve.  My email is dtschopf2003@yahoo.com  I need to know by Thursday if you can make it.  Sorry for the short notice.

« on: October 11, 2011, 09:26:39 pm »
Its hard to believe another season of lawn mower racing is coming to a close, but it is here.  With one more race remaining on the schedule, its not to soon to start thinking about the Annual PALMRA Awards Banquet.  This years banquet will be hosted by Dan and Tracy Frantz in Seven Valleys, PA.  We would like to invite all PALMRA racers and their families and friends, any one who has volunteered at PALMRA events, or anyone thinking about getting involved in our sport.  We would also like to invite our friends from DELMRAVA to come and enjoy some good food, share a few racing stories, and if you have any awards to be handed out, feel free to share our "stage".

PALMRA will provide hamburgers in a tomato sauce with hamburger buns and drinks for the evening.  We ask each family to also bring a covered dish or dessert as well.  Electric will be available for crockpots or any other device that may be needed.

Also keep in mind the special awards voting.  The guidelines for voting can be found on our website by clicking on the "Build Book" button all the way at the bottom of the page.  Drivers qualifying for the "Rookie of the Year Award" can be found on the points page.

To reserve your seats, and vote for the special rewards recipients, please contact Dean Schopf Jr. at dtschopf2003@yahoo.com or call at (717)324-5756.

So we head to Fawn Grove for the season ender!  There are many classes where the top spots can still change hands, championships will come down to the final race!  Thanks to all the racers who came north from MD, and to the PALMRA regulars who traveled from NJ.  We appriciate the support from everyone.

See you in Fawn Grove,

USLMRA Races / Fawn Grove Fall Show results
« on: September 26, 2011, 09:50:02 pm »
First thing is a big thank you to those who worked in the mud on Saturday to prepare a great track for Sunday.  Second, thanks for all those who came out to race on Sunday.  After losing the first day of the double header in Fawn Grove, Sunday turned out to be a great day of racing!  As one person put it, it was the driest rainy day they ever saw.  The plan for the weekend was to race two features each day.  We were able to race two features on Sunday that will be scored as two different events.

The first feature events results are.......

Overall it was a good day of racing for everyone.  The track was very tacky, and the reason for most of the DNFs and DNSs were do to belt burning problems.  That problem made the name of game for the second feature was making your equipment last. 


Ashley is doing fine, two large bruises, but ready to go again.  She was most upset about the visor being broke off of her helmet!


PALMRAs next race is October 9 at Williams Grove.  The race info will soon be posted!


Thanks again to the racers for supporting a weather shortened weekend!

Coffee Shop / Race results.....
« on: September 10, 2011, 10:42:40 am »
Is there any way to make a section on here for Race Results. 

It would be so much easier to find all the results at one spot.  There are folks who don't have facebook, besides who wants to search all the different pages when we all have memberships here.  PLUS, you don't have to have a membership here, you can view posts as a guest here!

This would also be useful to a new member who is in question of what class to build for.  They would be able to see thriving classes for a particular area.

So moderators, can we set up a page for race results that any mower racing group can post to?

Thanks in advance,
Dean Jr.

USLMRA Races / PALMRA's race cancelation for Sept. 11.....
« on: September 10, 2011, 10:28:09 am »
This is the official cancellation of PALMRA's race event on Sunday Sept. 11.

Lee won the event, but this time it wasn't Grover!  The Williams Grove area is still flooded.


The next event will be the Fawn Grove double header.  We will race an extra feature each night to make up the last two races.  The features will be scored in points as separate races.  So there are a total of 4 points races for that weekend!  It will be HUGE!

USLMRA Races / CPR at the US Nationals??????
« on: September 06, 2011, 08:02:01 pm »
Did I see correctly that a version of the CPR class ran at Nationals?  Was this a true CPR class or an open class with nothing else to call it?  Someone please fill us in.  I know Hollywood would want to know as well!
Thanks in advance,

USLMRA Races / PALMRA's next event.......
« on: August 31, 2011, 09:33:44 pm »
First, we wish all the racers from PA, that are heading to Nationals, GOOD LUCK.


Event details are posted for our next event at the Williams Grove Short Track.  Details can be found at www.palmra.com  Same routine, click on the schedule, scroll to September and click on "mow info" for this event.


DON"T FORGET, after Labor Day weekend, all memberships MUST be renewed!  This can be done online before the race, or at the track.  If you renew online, please print out, and bring along your proof of registration.


We should have a good crowd, because of the hurricane, the Williams Grove Show had to postpone their annual car show.  It has been rescheduled for Sept. 11 weekend.  Also, don't forget that every Sunday is the Williams Grove Flea Market.


There will be plenty to do, and we WILL have a water tank!

See you at the track.

USLMRA Races / This weekend in PA.........
« on: August 24, 2011, 10:08:57 pm »
PALMRA does not cancel races unless an unsafe racing condition arises.  That being said, if the hurricane does come up the coast and effects the York County area we will post a decision Saturday evening.  As of now the Weather channel shows significant impact Saturday night through Sunday.  Please check back here often for updates.
