“The 2012 SAM ROGERS US ALL AMERICAN OPEN is the Daytona 500 of mower racing and one of the premiere events in the country,” said Event Founder George Herrin. “It is dedicated to the memory of Sam Rogers and the racers themselves. It’s the race every racer across the US and Canada attends to test their machines and themselves against the absolute best of the best. It holds an atmosphere and prestige like no other event in the US or Canada. So, come be a part of the SRUSAAO. There will be something for everyone. There will be trophies, Special awards, for the racers and plenty going on at this event.”
Goal: We want ALL groups out there to be allowed to compete in the SRUSAA. We have created a set of rules designed to allow just about any reasonable type of mower to compete. Please review the rules.
