What a weekend!
I think I can speak for everyone and say this weekend was awesome.
The laughter never stopped, the mowers kept going and everyone had a ball.
Ken would have been so happy and proud with what you all accomplished this weekend.

Well done to all those who participated and a bigger well done to the mowers still going at the end!

Our feature races were great. Tom & Jerry showed us how fast some of these guys and gals can go.
Congratulations to Trae for winning with a lap time of 18.98 seconds.

Lady & Tramp was a joy to watch. Team of two drivers, 1 mower, 3 laps each with a pit stop in the middle.
Well done to team pink bits ( Trae & Mike ) for taking the win on that one.

The overall winner of the first ever Ken Pearson Memorial Trophy came down to a 3 way tie. What better way to decide who wins by letting those 3 have timed laps on Ken’s mower drifter. Fastest lap takes home the title.

Congratulations to Ava Williams for taking home the trophy 🏆.

Congratulations to all who won in their classes and everyone who participated and had fun!!

See you all next year to do it all again.
