This was our first night race of MANY!  The Fans loved it!  The Racers loved it!  Gun Barrel City loved it!  The night air was much appreciated over the grueling sun and heat during the day.  Thanks to all of our Platinum Sponsors: Gun Barrel City Economic Development Corporation, Small Engine Warehouse, Natural Residential Construction (NRC) and Clear View Glass Company.  They all have a hand in making the races as exciting as they are by helping with the expenses of Lighting, Track Safety, a much needed Port-A-Potty (don't really appreciate this one until there isn't one), and the equipment needed for racing.  Our Board of Directors: John Howard, President; Kevin Counsil, Vice President; Kathryn Lechinger, Secretary/Treasurer; Jesse Vick, Track Steward; and Brandi Vercher, Media Director are a group of people who are making this club work like a "well oiled machine", (hope you appreciate the pun)!  Mower Racing has many challenges, including the time and expense of maintaining a racing mower, dedicating the time to go to the races (which isn't really hard unless a job or personal matter gets in the way), the expense of going to the races, and probably a few other things that aren't mentioned.  None of us are individually sponsored.  But, what makes it all worth it is the pure, raw excitement of getting on the track and getting into full throttle, drifting around the corners, coming upon the side of your opponent with that extra push of getting around them (or not), watching the flaggers and waiting for the white flag that flies just before the checkered.  Then there are the FANS, who are locals and from as far away as Longview, Austin, Houston and even farther, cheering us on, asking for autographs, getting information about how to become a racer.  There is no greater compliment to a racer than to be recognized by NAME when walking among the public.   Mower Racing is the best family friendly sport you could ask for and WE LOVE IT!
