Since 2005, during the summer months, Rotarians play host to lawnmower racing. Sanctioned by the Rebels & Rednecks United Mower Racing Association, oval track racing on dirt reminds many of the beginning of stock car racing in Wilkes County and the birth of NASCAR. Crowds have grown from a few hundred to gathering of thousands on several Saturday nights from May through October. Racers and fans will agree, �it�s a wild, noisy, dusty, exciting and totally enjoyable event!
