    ADMINISTRATION

  • Chairman - Each year, the committee will nominate one of their experienced members to act as chairman. This nomination should be approved by a show of hands by the club membership at the AGM. Any candidate must be able to commit to the additional administration time and responsibilities required. Decision making - All decisions, rule changes or directives etc. have to be passed by a majority of the committee. In the event of an indecisive vote, the chairman shall have the casting vote. Publications - The committee shall have full editorial control of the website, social media and email communications published to the membership and media outlets. Rotation - Each year, two members of the committee have to stand down by rotation, but can offer themselves for re-election. The history of committee members is available on request. Extraordinary General Meetings - The chairman can call an extraordinary general meeting when required or urgency dictates that a matter cannot wait until the next AGM. Alternatively, the chairman can organise, in exceptional circumstances, a postal ballot of all the members. The president and / or the vice president will be responsible for ensuring that it is carried out in a fair and democratic manner. DIRECTORS The BLMRA is a non-profit making organisation, registered in England and limited by guarantee. There are currently two directors of the BLMRA Ltd registered with Companies House: Peter F. Hammerton and Dean A. Fuller. SOCIAL MEDIA There is a very active BLMRA Facebook page; new members will find that almost anyone in the BLMRA will be only too pleased to help, and you will find there is a strong social side to lawn mower racing. MEMBERSHIP The membership year runs from the 1st December to 30th November, but if you join and are unable to complete your mower build before the end of that year’s racing calendar, you may extend your membership to the end of the following season. Application is online via the web site. Members will receive a copy of the current handbook, a membership card and access to the member-only area of the website. There are four levels of membership: Full Membership Any person wishing to race must be a fully paid up member. Joint Membership Available to the spouse/partner of a full member. This provides free access to BLMRA events, but does not include either race participation or an entitlement to vote. Single Event Membership This is available for those wishing to have a go at Lawn Mower Racing, with a view to becoming a full member in the future and is limited to a set number of events. Race entry requirements apply. See Section B (page 12). Endurance-Only Membership For those wishing to participate in endurance events without incurring the cost of full membership. You may not compete in sprint meetings and you will not receive a hard copy of the handbook or membership card, but you will be provided with access to the member-only area of the website including an electronic copy of the handbook. The BLMRA reserves the right to refuse or cancel membership where any proceeding and/or act is prejudicial to the interests of the BLMRA, where there is a failure to abide by the Rules and Regulations, or where the sport is brought into disrepute.

Only club officials who need access to the records to perform their duties will be granted access with appropriate security controls in place. The BLMRA’s membership information records will never be disclosed to any third parties. Members have the right to withdraw their consent for the club retaining their personal details at any time; however, it is mandatory for active club membership.

No mower will be allowed onto the track until the race entry fee has been paid, the mower has been scrutineered and the driver has signed on. Remember, don’t just copy what you see others doing without checking first; (it could cause a lot of disappointment as well as wasting your money!). FLAG SIGNALS The following flags may be used at race meetings, please observe them and the marshals. However we cannot guarantee that the track will be fully marshalled. Flags will be shown by the Clerk of the Course or at his/her instruction. !! Union Jack - Start of the race (or a light system) !! Chequered Flag - End of racing !! Yellow Flag - Slow down, proceed with caution and no overtaking; on observing the yellow

    flag, raise one hand to alert following drivers !! Red Flag - Stop racing, bring your mower to a stop and switch off engine. !! Black Flag - The driver to whom it is shown must pull off and report to the Clerk of the

    Course !! Black & Orange Flag - Indicates that your mower has a mechanical/technical problem and

    you must pull off the track and report to the Clerk of the Course. !! Blue Flag - Indicates that you are being lapped and should allow the faster machine to

    pass when it is safe to do so. The flag will be shown from Race Control. RACE ETIQUETTE "#! This is a non-contact sport. Please avoid unnecessary contact regardless of what you see others

    doing. We all have jobs to go to and do not wish to get injured. $#! Bad driving will be penalised at the discretion of the Clerk of the Course. %#! Please get to the start line as soon as possible when it is your turn to race. 5#! If you go off the designated race track (as defined by bales, cones, etc.) you must rejoin when it

    is safe to do so and so you do not gain an advantage. 6#! For the benefit of other racers, if you intend leaving the track, please indicate this by raising an

    arm. 7#! Race related grievances should be addressed to the Clerk of the Course; see Code of Conduct 8#! The primary role of marshals is to warn drivers of an incident and it is not their responsibility to

    recover or restart your machine. If you are stopped on track then it is your responsibility to move your mower, as long as it is safe to do so.

    NOVICES "#! New racers are always welcome and wherever possible there will be races for those who wish to

    have a go. Refer to Entry in Section B. $#! Novices must identify themselves during the drivers’ briefing. %#! Novices must wear a red hi-visibility jacket, as supplied by the Clerk of the Course on the day at

    all times on the track. 5#! Novices will remain as such until told otherwise. 6#! Any mechanics or non-regular racers must sign on and pay to enter a single invitation race.

    IMPORTANT - You must be a member of the BLMRA, have filled in a Single Event Membership Form and paid the entry fee and completed all race entry requirements in Section B.

    SETTING UP and DISMANTLING OF THE RACE CIRCUIT All persons attending the race meetings will be required to help with the setting up of the track as approved by the Clerk of the Course. After the race meeting has finished all persons attending will be required to help clear away the bales / cones / tyres / ropes etc. and to put away all the equipment. Prize giving will not be carried out until all this has been done. We all want to go home after a race meeting so the more who help, the quicker things can be done. We are all members of the same club whether we are officials, racers or non racers.

    GROUP 1 RULES and REGULATIONSK

  • L:1 DEFINITION A Group 2 lawn mower is a machine designed to cut grass for domestic purposes. In standard form it will be self-propelled and roller driven but for racing it will have a towed seat. In Group 2 you may either use a tuned engine (see L:2) or an untuned engine (see L:3). Before purchasing a potential machine for conversion, please contact the Group 2 representative who can advise you on side plates. Similarly, before starting work, you must contact the homologation team by e-mailing [email protected]. Remember, if it doesn’t say you can do it, you can’t do it. L:2 TUNED ENGINES "#! The upper horsepower limit (manufacturer’s rating) is 6hp and must have been originally offered

    by the manufacturer.

    $#! The engine must be retained in its original position, or if an optional engine is used the crankshaft must be on the original axis.

    %#! The original block, crankcase and cylinder head must be retained. 5#! The fuel for any engine must be ordinary pump fuel and be free from any performance / power

    increasing additives. 6#! Should the entrant be in any doubt about the legality of his/her engine, they must consult the

    race committee. L:3 UNTUNED ENGINES "#! Please refer to section G. $#! Engines must remain as standard apart from the following: •! The exhaust pipe and silencer may be altered or changed. •! The governor may be removed or disconnected. No other alterations, modifications or “blue printing” are allowed.

    %#! Should a rebore become necessary because of wear or damage, only the manufacturer’s standard

    or ‘oversize’ piston and rings etc, or pattern parts to the original design, may be used as replacements.

    5#! The fuel for any engine must be ordinary pump fuel and be free from any performance / power

    increasing additives. 6#! Should the entrant be in any doubt about the legality of his/her engine, they must consult the

    race committee. L:4 DRIVE "#! The original type of drive i.e. belts, chains, gears or whatever, must be retained. Pulleys, gears

    etc, may be changed for bigger or smaller ones to alter ratios. If the drive was originally through a chain case on the side of the mower, it must continue to be through the chain case on the original side.

    $#! A gearbox may only be used if originally fitted, and then it must be standard and to the original

    specification. No variable transmissions, i.e. torque converters or variable pulleys, are permitted. %#! Drive rollers must be in their original position and must not be less than 2/3 (66%) of their

    original width. Rollers may be modified to improve grip but this will only be by the addition of rubber; the maximum tread depth must not exceed 20mm. Securing bolts (holding the rubber to the roller) must not protrude above the depth of the tread.

    19

    GROUP 2 RULES and REGULATIONSL

  • L:5 SAFETY "#! Mowers must be fitted with an automatic throttle closing device, which will work whenever the

    driver’s hand or foot leaves the throttle control. As a minimum, two springs acting on and attached directly to the throttle must be used. These are in addition to existing twist grip return springs.

    $#! An ignition cut out, which will work under any circumstances should the driver lose contact with

    the mower, must be fitted. A noose around the driver’s wrist is not acceptable. The cut out connection must be positively fastened to the driver and must not extend further than 1 metre.

    %#! Starting circuits must be disabled when the mower is left unattended (using an Anderson plug on

    the battery or a master switch, for example).

    5#! No sharp edges, protrusions or bumpers/fenders are allowed.

    6#! An efficient braking system must be fitted and operational at all times.

    7#! Any part of the exhaust pipe that could be used as a grab handle must be wrapped or guarded.

    L:6 CHASSIS and GRASS BOX "#! Handle bars and controls may be lowered and altered, but the overall profile must remain that of

    the standard lawn mower. All levers must be ball-ended. $#! Grass boxes where originally fitted must be retained and securely fastened. They must be as near

    as possible in the original position, except that some grass boxes may have to be fitted slightly lower than standard. If it becomes necessary to replace the grass box, the replacement must be as wide as the side plates and it must look, as closely as possible, like the original grass box.

    %#! When the mower is stationary, the grass box should rest on the ground. With the driver seated

    and the handle bars pulled back into the racing position, the bottom of the grass box must not be higher than 76mm (3”) from the ground.

    L:7 TRAILER and SEAT "#! The design of towed seats is free. They may be lowered and the choice of roller or wheels is

    optional. Trailer wheels must be guarded to avoid contact from the rear.

    $#! The driver’s foot rests may be moved from the tow bar to the back of the mower but may not be any further forward. They must not protrude outside the side plates.

    %#! The overall width of the trailer (to the outside edge of the rear tyres) must not be more than

    152mm (6”) wider than the mower (measured between the side plates). 5#! The seat may be changed or modified but the back rest may not be higher than the driver’s

    shoulder blades. 6#! Towed seats must be secured to the mower by two separate linkages. The first is, as on a normal

    mower, to pull the seat along. It can be modified or replaced as long as it is strong enough to satisfy the scrutineers. If a nut and bolt is used at the end, holding the linkage to the mower, then the nut must be secured by a split pin or similar. The second linkage is primarily a safety one, which will allow the driver to retain control, at least until the mower is brought to a halt, should the main linkage break. This 2nd linkage must not inhibit the mower to seat movement through any of the 3 planes:

    •! Side to side (as in steering) •! Pulling back/pushing forward the handle bars (lifting/lowering of the grass box except for the 3”) •! Rocking from side to side (either side of the mower can be lifted at least 3” without the seat lifting

    in standard or racing position). L:8 TRANSPONDERS The transponder must be securely fixed to the back of the seat and positioned in such a way that it will avoid damage in the event of a collision.

    GROUP 3 RULES and REGULATIONSM

  • M:4 SAFETY "#! Mowers must be fitted with an automatic throttle closing device, which will work whenever the

    driver’s hand or foot leaves the throttle control. As a minimum, two springs acting on and attached directly to the throttle must be used. These are in addition to existing pedal/hand throttle return springs.

    $#! An ignition cut out, which will work under any circumstances should the driver lose contact with

    the mower, must be fitted. A noose around the driver’s wrist is not acceptable. The cut out connection must be positively fastened to the driver and must not extend further than 1 metre.

    %#! Starting circuits must be disabled when the mower is left unattended (using an Anderson plug on

    the battery or a master switch, for example).

    5#! No sharp edges, protrusions or bumpers /fenders are allowed.

    6#! An efficient braking system must be fitted and operational at all times.

    7#! Any part of the exhaust pipe that could be used as a grab handle must be wrapped or guarded. 8#! Particular attention should be paid to the fixing of the wheels to the axles. =#! Cutting blades must be removed.

    >#! Any use of lithium polymer batteries is not allowed. M:5 CHASSIS and BODYWORK "#! The overall chassis profile may not be altered from standard. By chassis we mean the basic

    chassis specification, i.e. body, fairings, mudguards etc, as produced by the manufacturer. By profile we mean lengths, widths, heights, thickness, types of material, and visual appearance etc. The only exceptions are as follows:

    •! Discreet out of sight strengthening to the chassis. •! Discreet transmission accommodation i.e. if a large drive pulley will not fit in the chassis without

    removing the metal, then this may be done, but only as much as necessary. $#! Seats may be lowered, but only to the seat panel; seat panel to axle centre may be checked by

    referring to the homologation details provided. %#! The actual seat may be modified or changed but the backrest may not be higher than the driver’s

    shoulder blades. Measured from the ground, the top of the seat back must be no less than 735mm (29 inches) high across the majority of the seat’s width. The seat back must be made of a material sufficiently robust to support the weight of the upturned mower and offer adequate protection to the spine; open loops must therefore be filled in.

    5#! Discrete seat suspension may be fitted. However the seat must pivot from the front with the

    suspension / damping limited to the rear in a vertical axis. The underside of the compressed seat must be no lower than the homologated dimension. Scrutineers will pay particular attention to the integrity of the system.

    6#! If originally fitted with a steering wheel, then it must retain a steering wheel which must be

    circular and not take the form of modified handlebars. 7#! If your machine suffers panel damage during racing, you may be able to have them replaced with

    remanufactured items, but please contact the committee first. M:6 HOMOLOGATION It is the responsibility of members to contact the race committee to agree details, dimensions, and evidence of eligibility of any lawn mower, prior to its acceptance. M:7 TRANSPONDERS The transponder must be securely fitted to the front of the rear panel, just above the footplate or as directed by the scrutineers.
