Badger State Mower Racing

Mower Racing Chapter of A.R.M.A.  

         

Dear fellow racer,

 
As you may have heard already, I have started a new lawnmower racing group, sanctioned by ARMA. The new group’s name is Badger State Mower Racing Association, and I am the president. Those helping me in this endeavor are Bill Singsime, Ty Rindt, the whole group at Xtreme Mower Mayhem (Kel, John et al), Steve Bottjen of Brothers of the Blade, and a slew of friends interested in the betterment of Wisconsin lawn mower racing.
 
Aaron and Stacey Crowell of Bel Aire, Maryland started ARMA a few years ago. The goal of ARMA is to provide a fair and equitable sanctioning body for lawn mower racers across the country. This is truly an organization of racers, for the racers. Decisions are based on the premise, “what’s best for the racer?” not “What’s best for the national sponsor?”  Additionally, while Amsoil is a sponsor of ARMA, neither Amsoil nor ARMA will ever sponsor your competitor.
 
Being a new sanctioning body, our season schedule is a work in progress. We are working on race venues in North Central and North Eastern Wisconsin, and we hope to have some confirmed dates in the next month or two. We are interested in hearing from any venues located in these areas of the state that would like more information about Badger State Race Mowers.
 
There will be a schedule of “short track” races in the fall of 2008 in and around the Wisconsin Rapids area. A short track is a track of around 300’ in length. Mike and I have raced these races several times in the past few years, and had a ball. Big motors don’t matter in this type of racing, good driving does.
 
We are also planning ice racing, which will occur in winter of 2009. These again will be in the Wisconsin Rapids area. We hope to have a complete short track and ice racing schedule announced before Labor Day.
 
To keep and fulfill the goals of ARMA, Badger State Mower Racing will strive to keep racer costs at a minimum. We will not charge race fees at any event this summer. There may be a nominal fee for the short track and ice racing events, but these will be nominal charges, and the proceeds will go toward the purchase of trophies.
 
 We are working on our own web site, which should be up and running in early February. In the meantime, we'd like to thank our partners, the gang at Xtreme Mower Mayhem for giving us this space. And, one more thing. Do you think the Monster Mowers can race?? We'll be finding out this summer. Stay tuned!"

Sincerely,
Steve Bertrand
