2008 LOGGERS' JUBILEE INVITATIONAL LAWNMOWER RACES

Start your mowers! The Morton Loggers' Jubilee is just months away and we're looking forward to seeing you at the track on August 8th, 2008.

It is our desire to continue to provide the largest, most competitive and most fair race of its kind. 

Over 30 years ago our race started out as a true lawnmower race, and our intention is to keep it just that. We want to provide a fun, fair, competitive race with basic lawnmowers that anyone can build, that anyone can enter, and that anyone can have a chance to win first place, without spending a fortune.

PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY. Our race committee will be checking all machines and has the final say on your entering and we don't want anyone to be turned away on race day.

This year's Lawnmower Races will be held FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 2008. The schedule of events will be as follows:
Check In begins at .....3:00 p.m.
Time Trials at ............ 6:30 p.m.
Driver's Meeting at .... _______. (All drivers must attend)

PRE-REGISTRATION THIS YEAR WILL BE $10.00 for each racer. If you register at the gate it will be $20.00. So make sure you register early!
This must be RECEIVED BY JULY 31st with questionnaire and waiver. We want everyone who is participating to have his or her name in the program. It makes it so much easier for the announcers, PLUS IT SAVES TIME AT THE GATE SO WE CAN GO RACING!!!!

RACERS REGISTERING EARLY HAVE 1st CHOICE ON THEIR RACE NUMBER! Remember no letters.

Due to Liquor Control Laws, no alcohol will be allowed to be brought into the arena. SECURITY WILL BE CHECKING VEHICLES AND COOLERS AT THE GATE FOR ALCOHOL. NO ALCOHOL or WEAPONS OF ANY KIND  WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE PITS. A beer garden is available inside the Arena.

The Race Committee or Arena Officials have the right to refuse entry to anyone. Un-sportsman-like conduct will not be tolerated and Security will be available to handle any problems.

Due to the shortage of space available in the pit area, we can only allow ONE vehicle per mower into the pit area. A Driver who has paid the registration fee is allowed TWO assistants to be admitted in free. THEY MUST SIGN UP WITH DRIVER and have their hand stamped and waivers signed. The driver is responsible for his/her pit crew and their behavior.
