lawnmower racing enthusiast Vaughan Inder is working on getting more Taihape people involved in the sport to build it with the aim of putting the town on the map as a major centre for the sport. A member of the Feilding Lawnmower Racing Club, Mr Inder said as Taihape was central, having a good track here would attract enthusiasts from further afield. Mr Inder said we can expect up to 30 mowers to be racing. A big day for lawnmower racing is March 10 at Taihape's Gumboot Day. On February 5 there is lawnmower racing in Sanson and then back to Taihape on Sunday 19. "If we had the meetings in Taihape it would be an hour less travelling for people from say Rotorua or Taupo.
