Sounds like fun. I used to run mud races. It was always lots of fun.

yah i dont have any affiliation with this one, just helping get the word out for them. we used to have a "mud fest" in the mountains around here every year then the family who owned the property started fighting, then someone had it at the ranch for 2 years and gave it to someone else who did nothing with it.

so its good to see them doing stuff like this again. i heard there may be a truck tug o war also, they do those some weekends before the regular oval track races.

I raced outside of Tri Cities once. Drove up from Albany, OR for it. I bent my pitman arm and had to drive back only making right turns, left was not possible. Had to drive through Richland making right turns pulling a box trailer full of Ag tires. LOL

yesterday was the mudfest, they are planning on doing another one later this year, hopefully they fix a few "issues". for the most part it was pretty good, my neighbor took 1st place in the stock 6cylinder class and another friend took 2nd in the modified 8 cylinder class. they had more rigs than they expected to, the night before they had only had 18 rigs pre-register, they ended up with over 100 rigs. heres some pics

this was a monster truck that some one brought out, he ran over some cars, went through the mud, and even ramped off the cars

this was the most stock rig out there and driven by a woman, she shocked everyone by making it through the pits twice when other rigs got stuck just before her

Great pics, that early 80's pickup reminds my of my first 4x4, a 1983 Chevy Pickup.
