The United States Lawn Mower Racing Assocation is featured in February 2009 Machine Design Magazine! Check out the article here, or view the entire February issue digitally here.
From the article:
Any organization that decides to be founded on April Fool’s Day must not take itself too seriously. The U.S, Lawn Mower Racing Assoc. (USLMRA), for instance, was founded on April 1, 1992. And even its most accomplished members seem to have a good sense of humor, much of it at their own expense. The association’s founder and president, for example is Bruce Kaufman, better known as “Mr. Mow-it-all,” and most racers and mechanics have nicknames as well, such as “Mr. Mowron,” “Mr. Mowjangles,” and, of course, “The Lawn Ranger.”
Special congratulations to Jayson Mikula for being on the cover!
