LAWNMOWER RACES
Saturday, September 19, 2020 at the Saddle Club arena.

It's great family fun with an admission price of $5.00 per adult and $3.00 per child
(1st grade - 12th grade).  All ticket sales will go to help  fund Baxter County Fair projects.

This year the pro racers have made Mountain Home part of their MidWest racing series. We could have as many as 50 competitors on high-powered mowers!

Local stock races will also be held for folks that are willing to do a little tinkering to their mower and race among friends. We will have two classes for the local stock. Machines will be inspected and divided based on the amount of modifications that have been made.

The 2021 Entry Fee is $20 per racer.
Payouts are awarded to first thru third place in the Local Stock Feature Race.  Purse = 100% of entry fees plus $300 contributed by Doug Gregg. Register below and we'll be able to keep in touch as needed.
