Wamic will be buzzing this weekend with the sound of lawnmower racing this weekend, as the Mike Sofich Memorial Labor Day races take place at the Sportsman’s Grass Car Racing area. Lawn mower racers from Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho and Canada will compete in the Western Mower World Series event. Racer Randy Marshall says there are number of different classes of riding lawnmower that will be racing, with some capable of reaching near 55 miles per hour. Races start Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at noon at the track on Wamic Market Road. Admission is free, with the local American Legion Auxiliary hosting a beer garden.
