Topic: Thank you to all!

[fordman21]

Now that I'm back home and the USLMRA Lawn and Garden Mower Racing Series and the U.S. Open series are done for the season, I would like to thank everyone for a truly Awesome experience.
First of all, thank you Sta-Bil and the USLMRA just for the opportunity to race in the series to start with. We don't have a Nation wide series in Canada as of yet and racing on a National level was my goal I didn't think possible since I first started racing lawn mowers. With the addition of the new classes including FXT, this made it possible for me to compete. Thank you to all the National staff- Bruce, Kerry, Manny, Rich, Rodney and Chrissy, without you none of this is possible.
Winning a National Championship is a team effort, for me it just wouldn't be possible to do on my own. I owe a big thank you to my Dad Garry Kerr aka "Grumpy" for spending countless hours on my machine while I did my best trying to make a living working on customer's heads and engines. It was almost a full time job having the machine ready to run for the next race in three different series this season.

Also a big thank you to Rich Webb, my team mate with his #3 Ryker Racing sponsored John Deere FXT. I couldn't be more proud of his acomplishments this season also. Rich talked me into running Nationally last year at Vestaburg. I think it was his dedication and drive that made me work harder contributing to my win. Thank you Rich and Chrissy for driving me all over the country and keeping me alive all summer, and everything else for that matter. I couldn't have done it without you two and that's all there is to it.

Last but not least thank you to Midwest Super Cub! MWSC is responsible for the three digit hp figures I've had the pleasure of running since the beginning of 2010. They make all the fancy billet go fast parts for your kohler command v-twin and now single cylinder command engines. Julian Stahl at Midwest made sure I got whatever I needed all season long, their partnership brought racing to a whole new level. They make parts that are proven on the race track where it counts.

Looking back there is no place I'd rather be then at the race track surrounded by all the new friends I've had the honor to meet and get to know this season. Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome and part of the big family, I can't wait until next season!
Thank you to all.

Ryan, the Outlaw style chassis has brought a new wave of mowers to the
USA, you have given a new outlet to alot of racers, and you have proven
to be an asset to mowing. Yall have a few years designing the chassis, and
the guys on this side of the border are learning more about them all the time.
You certainly bring it with a high level of performance, Thank You and all the
other Candian mower brotherhood for attending the race classes on this
side of the border. When it gets down to it, there really is no border when
it comes to racing...... just a rules package, we are mostly of the same blood,
race blood.  Congrats on your success with the USLMRA series.

Thanks Marc that means a lot.
Also would like to thank the VanEpps family for getting my mower and myself to the early Southern races this season, it sure does help when you can share a long distance ride.

To add to the accolades,Ryan it was awesome to share the track with you! I think I'm going to go to the All-American in November. I hope to run with you,George, Rich, Jim,Jayson,and the rest of the FXT class. I have know I'm not as fast as you guys in any way but I have fun trying to stay out of your way as you guys blow by like a hurricane wind,lol.

Congrats to Ryan, great job.  I also had fun trying my hand at this class.  There is always next year..... a little more grunt, and a little more tweaking on the chassis, and maybe I can stay a little less behind!!!!   What a blast!   Ryan, keep celebrating, eh?

Congrats to you Ryan. I gave it all I had and raced you with all I had. Was a pleasure to share the rides. Hope we can still call ourself at least 1/2 team mates in this crazy sport.

[bountyhunter]

Congrats and thank you for the innovations you have come up with!
that has opened up a whole new field for us that think outside the box!
and i second the hats of to the USLMRA for adding the class

[fordman21]

Justin and Doc, you guys showed you weren't afraid to build a machine and run in the top class with some of the best guys out there and that's says a lot. It was a pleasure racing with you both. If you ever need anything or if there is anything I can do to help just let me know. Maybe I'll see you guys at the All-American in Nov.
Glenn you ran very strong all year, we were all pretty impressed. Michigan had 5 in the top 5 this season, I must say its a very competitive group!
