Lawnmower racing is a fun, family friendly event and alcohol-free. Our club has racers ages 5 to 75, both male and female. We are a non-profit club that donates annually to charity. This year we will be supporting the Petrolia Food Bank aswell as lccvi breakfast program
Lawnmower racing is popular in the U.S. but the sport is catching on in Canada. There’s no prize money in the sport, called the “poor man’s NASCAR,” and machines can reach 100 km/h with engines having from 8 to 90 horsepower and cost from $500 to $5,000 to build depending on the racing class.
We now have a home track at 4120 Oil Heritage Line in Petrolia, Ontario. Races will be held every two weeks from May 28th to October 1st at 2:00 p.m. Admission is $5.00/person, kids 10 and under free.
