Bud “Elmow” Elmore will tell you that he is one “mowtivated” dude. The Anza resident has spent the last year and a half organizing and advocating for his brainchild, the Pacific Coast Lawn Mower Racing Association.
“I’ve been traveling up and down the coast promoting this sport,” said Elmore in a recent interview. “My goal is to ultimately get a nationally sanctioned lawn mower race here in Anza, and in other places on the West Coast.”
Sanctioning comes by way of the United States Lawn Mower Racing Association, a governing body founded in 1992 under the sponsorship of Stabil, a fuel stabilizer manufacturing company. The organization currently boasts more than 40 chapters and clubs and sponsors a national, competitive Points Championship Series.
Elmore and his fellow Anza mower enthusiasts are in the formative years of getting to the eventual goal of a Points Series race.
“We didn’t know much about the sport when we first started a year ago,” Elmore said. “But we did our research – we did some trial and error – and learned from each other.”
