Sandwiched between Pantomime Horse Racing and Outhouse Racing, SI.com (a CNN Network site) features the USLMRA in its list of 22 “Most Ridiculous Competitions”. John Rolfe of SI.com had this to say:
On the cutting edge of alternative sports for motor enthusiasts, the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association offers competitions across the country in five classes: stock, international mowers of weeds, prepared (modified), FX (major modified) and JP (juniors/kids). No, the blades aren’t spinning during a race — they’ve been removed.
Other featured sports include Pig Racing, Pig Diving, Toilet Seat Toss, Extreme Ironing, Wife Carrying, Ostrich Racing, Cheese Rolling, Elephant Polo, Tough Guy Racing, Beer Pong, Bog Snorkeling, Mud Volleyball, Chess Boxing, Competitive Eating, Cup Stacking, Punkin Chunkin, Pumpkin Sailing, Sculpture Racing and the annual World Series of Birding.
