A Little History
In a backyard on Island Hwy in Charlotte,Mi. a small racetrack was made for some friends to come over and race their lawn mowers and have a fun day. For kicks, it was named NUTS & BOLTS Raceway. Friends brought what they had to race and everyone had a fun filled day, with cookout and refreshments after the race.
The winners were given Burger King Crown Paper hats and the lady powder puff drivers received a fluffy marshmallow on a stick.
The Rough Riders have come a long way since 2006. They have found an excellent location to hold events at Lake Alliance Park in Potterville, Mi. The public is invited to come and watch the mower racing events. Events are held every other Saturday during race season and starts in May thru Sept. The Rough Riders have several classes of racers.
