RACING LAWN MOWERS READY TO ROCK & MOW
AT MACON CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
Glenview, IL (March 19, 2009) – In a sure sign of spring, racers from the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association (USLMRA) will appear Saturday, March 21 2:00-4:00pm at the Macon Cherry Blossom Festival as sod warriors mow em down at Third Street Park, from Cherry to Poplar Streets in downtown Macon. The event is free and open to the public and is presented by Cox High Speed Internet.
Some of America’s fastest racing lawn mowers will show off including Turf Titans from the Georgia-based Dixie Lawn Mower Racing Association, the East Tennessee Lawn Mower Racing Association and the Alabama-based Dixie Outlaws.
“What better way to celebrate springtime in Macon to run lawn mowers through the city streets at speeds up to 40 mph!,” exclaimed Michael Formentini, President of the Dixie Lawn Mower Racing Association. “We’ve got top drivers coming in from across the South including several national Top 10 Racers from the STA-BIL National Lawn Mower Racing Series along with regional and state champions. This event has proven to be a huge success. C’mon out and watch – the MOW the merrier!”
