It’s time to return to the Legendary BOWLES FARMS,
http://www.bowlesfarms.com/ as the STA-BIL Lawn & Garden Mower Racing Series returns to one of the premier lawn mower racing facilities in the nation. The 9th Annual St. Mary’s County National Lawn Mower Races will take place at beautiful Bowles Farms, in Clements, Maryland on August 2-3, 2013.
The track is absolutely terrific, with smooth clay, plenty wide and lights all around. Racing under the lights gives the track great grip, 30 ft wide, over 700 ft long. Covered grandstands, hay bails for miles, pit parking for everyone, track help by the truck load, air conditioned restrooms, camping room for an army of racers and mow; however there will be no hook ups for campers and RV's. Restrooms are open until 10 pm daily and they will also have portable facilities.
This is a lawn mower racing event for the whole family to attend with other activities including Children’s Moon Bounce, Kiddy Tractor Pull, John Deere Toy Display, K-9 Demonstrations and Antique Tractors on Display. Back again this year on Saturday will be the Mini Excavator Challenge, and racers who are good with using operating equipment are invited to compete for prizes.
Every year over 9,000 spectators witness two days of spectacular racing. This year drivers will be provided to meals on Friday and again on Saturday.
Spectator admission is $8.00 per person, children 8 and under free. The races benefit the 7th District Rescue Squad and the 7th District Optimist Club. There will be only one entrance for the racers to come in to the pits, thus when you arrive with your mowers we will be admitting 1 racer and 1 crew member, everyone else will pay admission.
We have also acquired a few extra $$$$'s for this weekend for racer tow money. So for this weekend there will be a drawing for drivers to win $50.00 cash tow money. We ask that only drivers that have driven over 100 miles enter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Racers will pay a $20.00 fee, which covers insurance, pit access, rental of one transponder and computer timing & scoring. Additional transponders rental are $5.00. ALL other persons, including pit crew and minors must pay $5.00 for Pit Access.
