CILMRA at the Iowa Speedway June 1st 2013
« on: April 09, 2013, 02:38:24 pm »
The Central Iowa Lawn Mower Racing Association will be racing at the Iowa Speedway on Saturday June 1st (time TBD) during the I80 Iowa Grand Motorcycle Rally. This should be awesome and a great opportunity to get our sport out in front of new fans!  The bikers are going to love these mowers. This is a win win for both the Iowa Speedway and CILMRA as the Speedway will be the title sponsor of the STA-BIL National Points Race in Iowa on June 29th & 30th.

All mower racers who participate in the Rally Race will be given free admission to the Rally for the day and free tent camping, this will include your spouse.  Full camping accommodations also available for an additional cost.

I’ll provide additional details as they unfold.

So I have to find a way to get my bike and mowers up there........ 

Hopefully spring work gets better so I'm not spraying then.

Yep, that's the idea behind the "Toy Hauler".

So leave the mowers home?   Bike takes up the whole "toy area".

Might have to teach Candace to pull the toy hauler and ride the bike!!!

Just hope my mower is done by then........

Need a big SPLASH at this race, may lead to bigger and better things at the Iowa Speedway for mower racing. Should be a nice crowd and a great party afterwards. They are sponsoring our National points race at River Bottom Raceway in Carlisle Iowa on June 29th and 30th
( http://www.heymow.com/index.php?topic=26163.0 ) and we would really like to impress. Hopefully we'll get Rusty Wallace on one of these things, he's usually around there as he designed the track and has a continuing partnership with them. If you have any questions please get a hold of me.

Thanks

The race is in the parking lot and all are welcome but you should understand that the bike rally is for adults (18+). This is a biker rally and their will be a party afterwards inside of the Iowa Speedway gates and all who race will get a ticket to enter the rally along with 1 guest (wife / partner). Come have a fun day of racing and if so inclined join the after party. You will need to come in and find one the of CILMRA crew a and pick up your ticket (s) then take those to ticket booth 3 to sign wavers for the Iowa Speedway. Once you sign those you will be given a wrist band and you can head to the pits where you will sign another waver (NKA) to participate.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
Curt

See below a link to the press release for the race this Saturday at the Iowa Speedway.


When arriving use the main parking lot gate off of Rusty Wallace Drive. From there you will be directed to ticket booth #3. We will have someone near ticket booth #3. There you will receive 2 rally passes per mower and sign the insurance waver for the Iowa Speedway. Once you're done there you can head to the pits and sign in there.

You will receive two I-80 Iowa Grand Motorcycle Rally passes per mower (driver +1), all others pay full price.

From the I-80 Grand Ralley web site for admission to the Rally:

THURSDAY & SUNDAY
FREE
Free General Admission


FRIDAY
$20/$25
$20 for single
$25 with a rider


SATURDAY
$25/$30
$25 for single
$30 with a rider


TWO-DAY PASS
$40/$50
$40 for single
$50 with a rider



At the pits you will receive two pit passes (driver +1), all others pay $10 to enter the pits.


Please be early, we're expecting a nice crowd of fans and want to start on time. We will begin the races at 3 PM sharp. We hope to do some practice laps between 2 PM and 3 PM.


The track will be roughly 500' in bottom groove, very close to the track in Carlisle with more sweeping corners in 1 & 2.


See you all Saturday, should be a great time. Let me know if you have a question.

The event turned out great! We had 30 racers and the track turned out pretty darn good for where we started on Tuesday. THANKS to all who attended, the Speedway was impressed and I think we'll be back!
