DESCRIPTION
Now in its 18th year, the United States Lawn Mower Racing Association (USLMRA) is the original national lawn mower racing sanctioning body that produces more than 150 races each year at fairs, festivals, racetracks, non-profit venues and municipalities. As we say, "the mow the merrier". USLMRA races and exhibitions have been held at the famous Charlotte, Atlanta, Texas and Bristol Motor Speedways and are broadcast nationally on Fox Sports Net. The USLMRA sanctions and promotes the STA-BIL National Lawn Mower Racing Series where drivers compete at speeds up to 55 mph with all blades removed. The USLMRA Hall of Fame is in Ohio.

The USLMRA caters to drivers with Jimmy Johnson dreams and sponsors with dreams of a NASCAR budget. Our humorous, tongue-in-cheek approach with the media produces serious results for sponsors with big objectives but only modest means. USLMRA races are professionally managed and promoted via an in-house Public Relations and Event Marketing staff as well as a team of TV producers, social media experts and race officials.

A media darling from its inception, the USLMRA garners significant national exposure with major media outlets like The New York Times, ESPN, Fox Sports Net and the Today Show to name a few, plus recognition for marketing excellence from BrandWeek and Inside PR magazines. We've mastered breaking through the clutter - our quirky stories and interesting drivers like Sodzilla, Weedy Gonzales and Mowna Lisa get our partners noticed and drive brand impressions.

>>>> An ideal USLMRA sponsor is a brand that:

- Wants to get into motorsports with national PR support
- Has a small budget but needs maximum brand exposure
- Competes with much larger competitors with bigger budgets
- Needs to increase the ROI of its existing motorsports budget

>>>> USLMRA sponsors reap these benefits:

- National media coverage and Fox Sports Net broadcasts
- Maximum exposure as a major player in smaller racing series
- Differentiate your brand from competitors and have fun doing it
- Excellent return on your motorsports budget

The biggest benefit the USLMRA offers a sponsor is the leadership, creativity and execution skills of Bruce Kaufman, founder and president and the association's "Mr. Mow It All". Bruce is second to none when it comes to driving real value from motorsports marketing.

Events will be produced and televised for Fox Sports Net (FSN) in 2010. Previous races have been featured on ESPN2, Discovery Channel, TNN and Speedvision.
