Detail:

Established in 2002, The Florida Lawn Mower Racing Association (FLA) is for ages 10 and older that have a love for racing. Our club was founded by Joe Gillians. He had a vision to see that this sport was growing and wanted to have a dedicated place to race. With his hard work and efforts the FLA was born and a lease was drafted with the City of Avon Park to be the FIRST dedicated Lawnmower Racing facility in the United States. As the club continues to grow and change, it is run by a board that is comprised of all volunteers.

Since the club was started, the FLA has hosted a national points race in April. Racers come from all over the US to compete here at the Avon Park Mowerplex, on there way to a national championship! In 2008 the FLA along with Nasgrass, hosted the first ever Triple header weekend of racing! Our FLA racers regularly compete on the national circuit and many have been or currently are National Champions. Many or our racers have appeared on television including races on ESPN!
