LSMRA 2009 Awards Banquet

Here is another page to meet more of the LSMRA Racers We will share some information about our members and their mowers.
Bonnie Driggers aka "Mow Mama" Bonnie Driggers aka Mow Mama #209 I got started racing after my son, Daniel (aka Grasskicker #211) got involved in racing. For all of his first racing year, he kept nagging for me to race a mower, and I kept telling him you'd NEVER get my fanny on one, well, I then attended my first race, and I was hooked. The part I was the most impressed with, is that even though he was only 16, he was treated like an equal, and I knew I wanted to be involved in a sport with such nice people, plus it looked like so much fun. I am in the IMOW class, and this is my second year racing. I rode in the Stock and the Super Stock classes last year, and took 3rd place trophies for the season in both classes. I also was "honored" to recieve a the "Best 13 laps, and not winning a race" trophy. My entire family, (husband, Lewis aka "Lawnatic", son and myself)were the recipents of the "Least Improved Award at the end of the year...Thanks alot guys! (I always knew the men in my family were gonna take me down!!). I look forward to each race to not only "Kick some grass", but so I can see my racing family again.

	Mike VanDevender My name is Mike VanDevender. I am from Bridge City, Texas. My mower is named "Red Rocket" My number is 21.. I got the number from My favorite Nascar Driver.. Ricky Rudd. He later went to another number but I kept it anyways.. I've been racing in the A/P class for 3 years. I first seen Lawnmower racing on tv, and Me and My friend Tom (My team mate) went to our first race in Houston.. That is where I met Mike Cupps.. And he pointed me in the right direction..(Thanxs Mike).. I have a 3 year old son.. His name is Jace.. I raced motocross ATV's for 6 years and I got in a bad wreck and almost broke my neck on a track in houston. I Thought lawnmower racing would be a safer sport until I wrecked my mower in Paris,Texas in 2004..LOL.. Once I did my first lawnmower race I was addicted. Besides racing, I love hanging out with the great people at the races, Its like one big happy Family..
Tom Kelly My name is Tom Kelly, I currently live in Marshall, TX. I am originally from Bridge City, TX, near Beaumont. This is my third year as a member of the LSMRA and I race in the A/P and F/X classes. I race the # 212 "Mowler Lite" and won the 2004 LSMRA State Championship in the A/P class my rookie year. I got into lawnmower racing after seeing it on TV and being egged on by my teammate Mike Vandevender # 21. In 2003 we both built what we thought were racing lawnmowers and luckily didn't kill ourselves. Later that year we went to a LSMRA race in Livingston, TX and talked to John Nelson, Mike Cupps, and Ronnie Drew about what we needed to do to build real racing lawnmowers. They helped us out a lot and we spent all winter building and getting ready for the 2004 season. I finally made it to my first race in April of 2004 and even won! After taking the 2006 season off, I am now back hoping for another championship.
	Richard Ryder III I started racing lawnmowers 2 years ago when my good friend "Mowreo Andretti" introduced me to the sport. I have only raced a couple of times due to mower nutrition ( keeping it running ), but am looking forward to many more races in the future. My mower is named "Alfa Mowreo" and my number is 162. My wife rolls her eyes and my daughter and son just smile and say "thats my dad". I am 46 and could not ask to be around a better bunch of people. Thanks LSMRA !!!
Scott W. Bittle aka "Mowbi-Wan-Kenobi" My name is Scott W. Bittle and I live in Hope, Arkansas working as a Code Enforcement Officer for the City. Although I am not from Texas I have been happily married to a Texan for the last 24 years. After seeing the Texas group race with the Arkansas group in Hope in 2006, I was hooked. During the next 9 months I built and tested my first racer. With the assistance and advice from the members of the LSMRA I made corrections in that build and built my new S/P class racer, #396, the “Mowlenuim Falcon” The LSMRA invited me in with open arms and I have met a lot of great people I now call my FRIENDS. “Remember, the force will be with you, always!”
	Caroll D. Campbell aka "Mowertified" Caroll D. Campbell (56) has been a member of the USLMRA and LSMRA for two years. After attending the 2006 Auto Rama Show in Dallas, TX, Caroll was hooked on mower racing after meeting some of the members of the LSMRA. He did not finish building his racing mower until the start of the 2007-2008 racing season. The 2008 season is considered Caroll's 'Rookie Year' as the large letter 'R' is displayed on the back of his racing helmet for those to see who are trailing him during the races. Caroll's racing call name is MOWERtified. MOWERtified stands for being truly a 'Certified Mower Racing' lunatic or just plain crazy. Caroll has named his racing MOWchine as GizMOW with racing number X56 and he is currently racing in the B/P class. Caroll and his wife, Teresa, aka - (SLOWMOW) have been married for 29 years and both are native Texans growing up in the Dallas area. They currently reside in McKinney, TX and they have two sons and three grandchildren. Today, Caroll has a few races under his belt and he contributes his success to the great friends that he has made who are associated with LSMRA club. Go Lone Star.
