Mud bog a hit at fair
“Patrons at the Jefferson County Fair might have learned after Saturday that it was OK to throw a little bit of mud around - well, maybe a lot of mud. “ The Workers began preparation Friday night at the fair's arena by using an excavator to mix 8,000 gallons of water into the 200-foot-long pit to produce 175 feet of mud that was 2 feet deep and the perfect consistency. They are having this held to gather everyone up for this event. Participants paid a $40-$50 entry fee per run through the mud pit for their trucks, which ranged from 15,000 horsepower down to street class. Winners received a trophy and prize money ranging from $50 to $400. There were seven competition classes based on tire size and horsepower and the object was to get through the pit with the fastest time or the longest distance. This event helps explain about mud bogging. You got a big truck, take it through the mud.

I'm surprised that someone can get up to $400 just for running though mud. it sounds so exciting. I also didn't know that there was so much that someone had to put into thier car just for the fair. What are sone other interesting things that happen to the cars that go through the mud?
