On Your Mark, Get Set, MOW! explores the sport of lawn mower racing though the eyes of a family who have lost six members to Huntington’s disease and use the sport to raise awareness of the little known disease and money for research for a cure.
The sport of lawn mower racing is enjoyed by a wide variety of Americans with little regard to age, sex, or economic class. It is a fast, exciting, and most importantly an affordable motor sport. Dozens of racers organized into different classes compete for trophies and bragging rights as there are no cash purses.
