HOW DOES THIS WORK?
***NEW 2025 Rules and Regulations posted!***
In a nutshell, SSILMRA has two main classes of racing lawn mowers.
1. Fully stock - anyone can race! These are commercially sold lawn mowers that literally just rolled off the lot with the cutting deck removed.
2. Modified Classes - Lots of options here to build your own racing mower, but PLEASE read the Rules and Regulations first.
3. No Rules - Build whatever you want! Time trials only.
