Trophies to top 3 in each class JP IMOW AP SP CP BP FX
Confirmed Race Teams for this Event:
Dave Stratton's Mower Addiction Racing Team - Dave "Superman" Stratton has created an awesome team of 8+ racing mowers with as many as 4 drivers in 7 classes, to challenge the region's best.
"Mr. Whatever" - Jason Hughes a top BP class performer is always fun to watch, although he is a bit tough on hay bales. Jason has been known to make his own way around the track if you know what I mean....
Jason's son Blase Gruber is currently tied for 3rd in his rookie IMOW season. Blase raced JP in 08' and has moved up to race with the big boys.
R&T Racing - featuring Robert Sparbel and Tim Luell. Robert and Tim have raced with the nations best on the USLMRA National Lawn Mower Racing Circut. Robert is currently second in BP and leading the MNLMRA FX class points and Tim is 4th in FX and leading the SP class points chase.
Anti Monkey Butt Powder Racing -Al Minaker is poised for a breakout performance. The AMB Team has been plagued with broken parts and bad luck in the MNLMRA series this year, but Al assures us that Caledonia will be the turning point for his FX class mower.
Parkwood Racing - Lee Vine has also been the recipient of some back luck this year. Broken parts and tight timeframes have hindered this teams efforts on the 2009 MNLMRA series. Usually a front runner in SP and BP
The Mow-Rangers-Jere "Dude Mow" Heineman, Andy"Mow-Dawg" & Brian Tronnes, Richard "Crash" Bohlman, Cody Helgeson and Luke Kuusinen will be making the 5+hr pilgramage to Caledonia for the last race of the season. Cody and Luke, both rookies, are looking to knock off Samantha Syts from Wisconsin, to take home thier first ever championship. These guys are good but Sammy is FAST !!!!
Mow-Lett Racing- Brian Darmer a second year IMOW racer is chasing down Past champion Mike Bliss. Brian has had his share of "difficulties" keeping him from the checkered but he assures me that the Mow-let is trimmed and ready to race.....
Bliss Mower-sports - Mike Bliss - Past IMOW champion has held off all competitors this year to lead the points chase. Proving that consistency wins championships Mike has been rock solid in 2009.
2009 points
