www.uslmra.com2010 RACING SEASON
The United States Lawn Mower Racing Association (the USLMRA) is run primarily for
racing enthusiasts and their friends. Members race for the love of competition. All who
share this philosophy are welcome to join the USLMRA and participate in its activities.
These regulations, which include any supplementary regulations issued for a particular
event (collectively, the “Regulations”), are designed for the orderly conduct of lawn
mower racing in the United States and to establish minimum acceptable requirements for
such events. However promulgation of these Regulations is not an admission that the
USLMRA has the duty to warn participants of potential hazards of participation.
Moreover, these Regulations are only intended as a guide for the conduct of the sport and
are in no way a guarantee against injury to the person or property of participants,
spectators or others, nor are they a substitute for the due care which should be exercised
by participants in any event. Finally, the USLMRA assumes no liability discharging the
USLMRA from such liability.
The USLMRA reserves the right to accept, deny, suspend or revoke any membership at
any time.
The USLMRA Staff, having promulgated these Regulations, may modify,
add to, delete from or grant exceptions to these Regulations at any time. By entering and
participating in these events, all participants agree to abide by these Regulations, as may
be amended from time to time.
Notable changes to the 2010 USLMRA Rule Book
Throughout the year we observe mowers, speak to many drivers, gather recommendations and analyzed this information. With this said the following changes have been changed or added to the 2010 USLMRA Rule Book.
Section I. RULES OF THE TRACK
M) Starts will be Le Mans style, with engines off. Once all mowers are lined up, drivers will line up directly in front across from their mower (In a direct line from their mower) facing the head flagger. On the green flag, drivers will cross the track on foot, start their mowers and start racing. Crew members may assist with starting after driver is on the mower. Crew members may not go onto the track, or assist or push the mower from the grid. Mowers with remote starters will be moved to the back of the grid.
N) If by chance a driver is in need of a runner due to Physical Disabilities or injury (as determined by the Chief Steward to be capable of racing) will coordinate with the Chief Steward for the runner prior to the start of racing. When approval is granted the driver will stand centered, directly behind their mower with their hand in the air and wait for the runner to tag the hand when the green flag is dropped.
Section VI. TECHNICAL INSPECTION
A) Every mower entered in any USLMRA event must be approved for competition
by Technical Inspection before practicing or racing at any event. A Safety Tech/
Build Tech sticker will be issued at each race. Top five finishing machines may
be required to go directly from the track to the impound area (when provided),
and be inspected for Build Tech compliance. Failure to impound directly from
the track may be cause for automatic disqualification and loss of points. All JP’s & IMOW’S will remain on track for RPM & Air Pressure check Inspection after feature races. JP & IMOW racers at the discretion of the Chief Steward may be required to have gear ratio checked as a group, participation is mandatory if this is determined to be needed.
Section VII. GENERAL MOWER REQUIREMENTS
A) CUTTING BLADES MUST BE REMOVED COMPLETELY FROM ALL MOWERS. ALL MOWERS MUST HAVE A CUTTING DECK SECURELY MOUNTED IN THE STOCK POSITION, WITH A MINIMUM OF 2.5” GROUND CLEARANCE UNDER THE LOWEST POINT OF THE DECK. Decks cannot have no type of bumper/Guard around it unless it is Factory designed. All prepared classes and JP/IMOW must have a factory type deck not home design.
Q) No offset or stagger. Body must be mounted in the center of the wheels. Tires
must match in Size, Brand and tread design per axle (with the exception of FX class). Lawn mower seats only, in the stock location, no lower than the tops of the fenders or exposed rear tires and on centerline. Offset measured from centerline to the outside of tire sidewall. Wheelbase may not be altered.
T) Steering wheels and handlebars may be replaced with any commercially available
pieces, but not substituted for each other. Steering Wheels may not be mounted off center unless
originally mounted offset. Steering columns must pass through the original hole in hood or dash at the original angle. All Nuts and bolts attaching the steering assembly (tie rods and spindles) must be secured with Lock Nuts, castle nuts with carter pins, or close pins.
Y) Flywheels
It is highly recommended, again highly recommended but not mandatory at this
time that in all Prepared classes and in FX that Billet Aluminum Flywheels be
used.
Section VIII. RACING CLASSIFICATIONS
C) IMOW. Class designation: I
21) 24v/ dual/single battery starting systems are not authorized
Note; several Local Chapters have began experimenting with the single cylinder OVH engine in the IMOW Class. Due to the fact that most manufactures have cease manufacturing Flat Head engines, USLMRA has began looking into the conversion of IMOW to the Single cylinder OHV engines. This may take place as soon as the 2011 racing season but no sooner. LCP’s should start experimenting with this change. The Mower Build requirement will remain the same as the current JP/IMOW (on a prepared chassis). Michigan and Pennsylvania LMRAs have already started experimenting with this and all seems to be working fine.
Racers:
As we get ready to begin the 2010 season we all look forward to a new year of exciting, competitive, and safe racing. As we did last year we have committed ourselves to ensure that the new 2010 USLMRA Rule Book is ready for issue before the 2010 racing season kicks off. Please note that there are some minor changes to the rulebook for 2010. The 2009 version proved to be an excellent document and required just minor changes.
Most changes were created to clarify some existing issues and address safety issues where necessary.
For questions concerning these rules, we highly recommend addressing them on
the FREE Yahoo Club site at,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/USLMRA, or the USLMRA Message Board site at
http://www.uslmra.com/, so our members may see the questions and answers. You may also contact the designated staff members by e-mail for answers to any questions you may have.
Let us all remember that we should strive to maintain professionalism in our
appearance and conduct, and we hope to keep participation fun, affordable, safe and
competitive. For those who wish to spend time seeking loopholes in the rulebook, or
defeat the spirit of the rules; we suggest you are racing in the wrong organization.
Sincerely,
Bruce Kaufman—USLMRA President

11) Kill Switch: Mowers must be equipped with an automatic throttle-closing device.
All mowers must be equipped with a kill switch, which will turn off the ignition if the driver leaves the mower. Velcro is not acceptable. Pressure switches are not
allowed. Kill switch must remain in closed position (engine not running) until driver
mounts mower. Additional Switches that can by-pass the kill switch are not allowed
under any circumstance.
MODIFICATIONS NOT LISTED ARE NOT APPROVED
INTENT: To provide a safe opportunity to demonstrate the driver’s ability when
in competition with essentially identical mowers. This is a highly regulated
class to insure uniformity between JP machines. As you can see, these machines are essentially Prepared Chassis’ (AP, SP, CP, & BP) with IMOW drive trains. This allows young racers to gain race experience at IMOW speeds which will approximately reach 15-20 mph (on a USLMRA US Points Track), but with a more stable platform that can easily be upgraded into the prepared classes when the driver reaches the Minimum age.
C) IMOW. Class designation: I
This is a highly regulated class that is specific to the modifications that are done. The intent is to have as nearly identical mowers as possible so that this class is based on driving ability.
1) TYPE: Must be a full-size lawn tractor, front engine, steering column behind
motor, stamped steel frame and manufactured as such, as delivered except for
the modifications listed below. Mid engine frames are not allowed
2) ENGINE: Governed engines, 3650 RPM max. (No Load). Single-cylinder
valve-in block engines, not to exceed factory rating of 15 horsepower.
3) DRIVELINE:. Transmission or Transaxle must be shift able and of
lawnmower origin and gear ratio in highest gear is to be no less than 8 to
1 Example: while in the highest gear the rear wheels can turn no more than
one revolution every time the engine rotates eight times. No Veri-Drives
4) BODY: Must be stock, without external alterations. Hood must be secured.
5) Front and rear axles must remain in stock location. Front spindles are to be
min. 5/8” in diameter. All steering linkages must use ball-type or spherical threaded rod ends
6) Minimum 4” ground clearance to frame, 2 ½” ground to deck.
7) Front axle and steering may be reinforced, substituted or fabricated. In the case
of racer-fabricated axles, these will be subject to the judgment of the
Technical Inspector as to their apparent safety for racing.
Aluminum may not be used as the material for the one-piece axle.
Maximum width 38” sidewall to sidewall.
9) Shaft locks, center drilled axle with locking bolts and castellated nuts with
cotter pins are acceptable for securing front wheels. Cotter pins, E-rings, and C-rings alone, bent nails, hitch pins, over-center pins, and quick-release pins are
not sufficient for wheel retention and are not approved.
10) WHEELS:. Metal rims 5” minimum front wheels. 8” minimum rear wheels.
Rear tires maximum is 16” diameter as written on the side wall of the tire. Actual
diameter may not exceed 16 ¼"
Maximum 15 PSI tire pressure
. 11) Rear axle should use shaft locks, center bolts, or thru-bolts to secure the rear
wheels.
12) DECK: Mowers must mount steel factory decks. The deck must be at least as
wide as either running boards or body edge whichever is wider. Decks may
not extend any more than 2” beyond the tire sidewalls on each side. Deck
halves may be mounted to running boards. Decks must be secure.
13) Engines must be stock and complete. After market consumable parts such as
air filters and spark plugs may be used as long as they are a direct stock replacement.
14) Exhaust design is open, but must terminate away from driver and
competitors, in a rearward and/or downward direction and present no
apparent safety hazard.
15) Footholds must be discrete, and no more than 2” high, made of flat or “L”
stock (no rod stock), and made such that the foot can not become entangled in
a rollover.
16) Minimum 39" unaltered wheelbase.
17) Rear axle may use open differential, locked, “live” or solid axle. No single
wheel drive.
18) No centrifugal and or torque converter clutches
19) Mowers using a chain drive type transmission must use an axle-mounted brake.
20) Hoods must be hinged or with a hole in grill provided for access to spark
plug wire for RPM checks
21) 24v/ dual/single battery starting systems are not authorized
Note; several Local Chapters have began experimenting with the single cylinder OVH engine in the IMOW Class. Due to the fact that most manufactures have cease manufacturing Flat Head engines, USLMRA has began looking into the conversion of IMOW to the Single cylinder OHV engines. This may take place as soon as the 2011 racing season but no sooner. LCP’s should start experimenting with this change. The Mower Build requirement will remain the same as the current JP/IMOW (on a prepared chassis). Michigan and Pennsylvania LMRAs have already started experimenting with this and all seems to be working fine
MODIFICATIONS NOT LISTED ARE NOT APPROVED.
INTENT: To provide a safe opportunity to demonstrate the driver’s ability when
in competition with essentially identical mowers. This is a highly regulated
class to insure uniformity between machines.
***********************WARNING!***********************
Remove mower blades before modifying or removing the engine
governor. Governor alterations will allow the engine to over speed, which
may cause blade or blade assembly to explode, presenting grave danger to
participants, spectators and officials around the mower, and may lead to
damage of the engine and/or engine components.

IX. STA-BIL NATIONAL LAWNMOWER RACING SERIES
POINT SYSTEM
AND
AWARDS POLICY
The point system is designed to encourage and recognize participation. Points are
awarded for all STA-BIL National Lawn Mower Racing Series (aka US National
Points”) races, and the STA-BIL Keeps Gas Fresh Finals. Points are awarded and
trophies given for points winners in each class. Series point’s winners will be
announced at the conclusion of the STA-BIL Keeps Gas Fresh Finals. First through
fifth place points winners will receive prizes and/or trophies. You are still allowed to
make each and every Regional Points Race, should you have the time, money and
desire. Your participation is always encouraged.
When figuring the points standings, USLMRA will only use your four best finishes.
On “Finals” Weekend, there will be one final points race (the STA-BIL Keeps Gas
Fresh Finals), which will also be counted toward your National Class Ranking. This
means you will have your four best STA-BIL National Point finishes plus the STA-BIL
Keeps Gas Fresh Finals being added together for your final points total.
1) The STA-BIL Keeps Gas Fresh Finals (formerly referred to as the STA-BIL
Nationals), is not an open race. Participants must qualify by class competing in
a minimum of four (4) USLMRA sanctioned races during the 2010 race
season, including STA-BIL National Points Races or Local Chapter races,
but at least one race must be a STA-BIL National Points Race. NOTE: To
compete means to complete at least one race lap under power.
2) Championship weekend will consist of a practice day (09-03-10), the STA-BIL
Keeps Gas Fresh Finals and the qualification race for the Challenge of
Champions (09-04-10), and the Challenge of Champions, (09-05-10).
a. The STA-BIL Finals will be run Saturday, (09-04-10), to
determine the points champions per class.
i. The current top ten in points in each class will grid in the first ten
starting positions with order determined by random draw.
ii. The starting positions for the remainder of the grid will be determined
by qualifying heat(s). If qualifying heats are not required, griddling heats
may be substituted. The Race Day Chief Steward will make this
determination.
b. Drivers not qualifying for championship point trophies may race in the
qualification race Saturday afternoon. The top ten finishers of this race will
join the STA-BIL Finals Points championship winners and up to three
racers-at-large, selected by the USLMRA President for the Challenge of
Champions, to be run Sunday, (09-05-10)
USLMRA Points Structure.
100 points each for registration, starting and finishing a point’s race
100 points for 5th
150 points for 4th
200 points for 3rd
250 points for 2nd
300 points for 1st
Note: Mower must cross the finish line under power to receive points for that race unless mechanical failure occurs on the white flag lap. (The mower can then be pushed by the driver only across the finish line.)
• A racer is allowed to race and receive points on an individual mower in one race class only in a race event.
• A racer may race a legal mower in a second race class with the permission of the Race Day Chief Steward only.
• Races officially start after the green flag drops.
• The race is defined by the first complete lap on the lead mower.
• If a Yellow or red flag is thrown before the lead mower completes the first lap, the race will be restarted but only once, if a second yellow/red flag is thrown before completion of the first lap, the race order will be determined by the order the mowers crossed the Start/Finish line at the start.
**Racers will receive no points or race credit towards Qualifying for the Sta-Bil Nationals for any race they received a disqualification (DQ).**

6. Any conscious effort to undermine the ability of the USLMRA, its staff, LC officers, volunteers and fellow members to conduct their activities at any race venue hosting a USLMRA or LC sanctioned event.
7. Any disruptive behavior, which, in the opinion of track officials, Local Chapter officers and staff and/or USLMRA staff, interferes with the orderly conduct of sanctioned and/or affiliated lawn mower races.
Any member of the USLMRA National Executive Staff may give reasons for suspension, revocation, or probation in writing, to all offenders, at his or her discretion.
Appeal of any suspension, revocation or probation will be handled on an individual basis. However, the right to appeal may not be granted in every case. Any request for appeal must be submitted, in writing, to the USLMRA National Executive Staff, stating the specific reason(s) for the appeal. The National Executive Staff serves at the discretion of the USLMRA President.
The USLMRA National Executive Staff is defined as Bruce Kaufman, Brooke Highline, Manny Torres and Jim Witt. Contacts for National Executive Staff members are published in page 3 of this USLMRA Rulebook.
Suspensions or probation may be for a period of up to one year. Revocations will be considered permanent unless cause can be shown for reinstatement.
