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.

Did You Know?

Did you know that Mud Bogging is an off-road motor sport of four-wheel drives or 4*4 vehicles? "Chevy sittin' on 44's, pipes louder than glass packs, straight pipes ya'll know". http://www.lyrics.com/mud-digger-album-colt-ford.html One of the biggest lifted trucks were 3312.50's by a long shot with a lift of 680.00. I'm amazed how big people can make their trucks. It excites me! :D When I personally go out to the woods, I like seeing big and even small trucks trying to romp through the mud. Mud bogging isn’t a popular sport as football and baseball. The trench can range from 1/8 to a mile long.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG. (: !

My topic is on Mud Bogging. Mud Bogging is a very dirty sport. You’ll only be interested if you like the mud and trucks. I’m interested in it because I’m a country girl and I’m not afraid to get down and dirty threw the thick mud in jacked up trucks. Trucks amuse me and I like those big Chevy 30-inch lifted trucks with their romping sounds and the mud that’s being splattered from the wheels spinning and sinking deep into the mud.

With my interests, I will tell you how the trucks go against in mud bogging, what was one of the first places to start mud bogging, each and every different type of truck and their lifts, and the possibility to get out when you’re stuck in the mud.  The goal is to drive a vehicle through a pit of mud  of a set length. Winners are determined by the distance traveled through the pit or, if several vehicles are able to travel the entire length, the time taken to traverse the pit. The modern mud racer is a dragster-style "rail" design with a supercharged engine and/or nitrous oxide injection. To get you're truck threw the mud, you are required to have four wheel drive. Back in the day, early mud boggers were pick up trucks or SUV’s modified with lifted suspensions and larger tires. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, large tractor tires became popular and the drive lines required to run such tires led to some of the first purpose-built mud boggin machines. Mud bogging has gone from back yard mud holes to events like Vermonster 4x4, South Florida Slingin', Triple Canopy Ranch and Truck Night at Yankee Lake. Mud bogging is a pretty intense sport. If you’re intrested, buy and truck and go romp threw the mud.
