Is this a timed event or distance? I've got my 6x6 torn apart replacing some bearings right now, but if it is back in action.... Smile

I'm with Krusty. How deep? Is it going to be like the runs down South where there is three feet of water on top? I 'spose they don't divulge that sort of information.

Weasel

Not sure how deep yet. But it should be around 150 feet long. Was there with Everittak on Saturday and it wasn't dug yet. Still waiting for more info and registration docs. As soon as we hear we will post or host the link / info.

Take care,

Weasel

I agree with MaXx_BoOsT on this one for sure. The event could be done better but it was nice to see this sort of event to begin with. Maybe it will get better next year if the event is organized and thought out some more. Most of the crowd left before it was over because of the slow pace due to the mud pit being too much for the quads to handle.

The mud pit won this round as the mud was too thick and deep for most of the quads. Either not as deep or less thick would have made it better. The two modded quads ended up getting hurt trying to pull other less-powerful quads out. Because of the mud consistency it ended up being more of a turtle crawl than a drag race.

Lots of casualties too but the worst was 2 Razors with smoked belts and double tire blow outs (both fronts on one a both rears on the other). Putting the kid's quads into the mix was really a big mistake because they could only go about 10'-15'.

The big trucks/jeeps and the loader were the only machines that could go through it easily.

Was a fun time though and that modded Can-am Outlander sounded awesome!!!!

Nice to see you there MaXx_BoOsT and to meet your family.

Personally, we need to get a GNCC type race league going up here. There are way to many great / all around (utility / sport) quads up here to ignore there would be a market for it. As for mud bog's...........make it part of the event, not "the" event......imo.
