I think they only race once a month, but if you are in the area and like racing you need to check this place out. They run several classes of mowers and some carts. Inexpensive and a good time.
Make sure you bring a cooler and some chairs. They have a small grandstand and offer freaks he off the grill burgers, dogs, fries and few other items.
Highly recommend if you are there when they are racing!

While driving through Avon Park last weekend we notice a crowd following a few lawn mowers with racing numbers on them to a short dirt race tract on the edge of town. Wasn't long we had bought some foot-long hotdogs and root beer floats finding a place to set up our lawn chair and watch some of the best lawn mower racing to be found in Florida. A great way to spend some quality time in a special place in Florida.

I went to the Lawn mower races in Avon Park and I was blown away at how much fun it was. Kids under 10, got in free and we had a blast. I will be tailgating trackside next time.

Fantastic Family fun atmosphere.
I can't believe a mower will go 60mph!!
Amazing!!
Definitely worth watching and the concessions were great too.

Located at the westernmost end of the Avon Park airport, guys, gals and even kids race souped up lawnmowers on the second Saturday of each month from September thru May,
They run on about a fifth-mile clay oval using everything from nearly stock to highly modified machines that can get above 60mph. (They take the blades off.
This is the first for-purpose lawnmower racing facility in the United States and they have everything you would expect at a speedway from grandstands to concessions.
It is a great place to take family and friends. There is no alcohol served and the crowd is fun and well behaved.
