An increasingly popular sport throughout the United States and Canada is Mudding. Known also as mud racing and mud bogging, mudding is an off-road sport where vehicles are driven through mud pits. The winner is determined by who can go the furthest in the pit. The increase in popularity of this sport is apparent by the number of mudding videos being made and sold.
The vehicles involved compete in extreme conditions and are generally four wheel drive because of the hazards. The winner is typically chosen by who makes it through the track the furthest, however, if more than one racer makes it, the person with the quickest time is the winner.
Vehicles used in mud bogging are a dragster style rail design and are a class V or VI mud racer. The only difference in class V & VI vehicles is their tires. The class V tire is a street legal tire that is modified by cutting out chunks for traction. In the Class VI, the tire has a paddle, similar to sand tires.
Equipped with super charged engines including nitrous oxide which gives the truck that extra kick to get through tough spots, mud boggers are in a class of their own. Early in the sport, mudders were old pick-ups or SUV's specially modified for racing in the deep mud. The suspension was raised and specific tires were designed. Since the late 1980's however, sanctions have been put into place to make mud bogging an official sport.
A great thing about the mudding videos available is the fact you are able to get up-close with the action without getting all muddy. Mudding tracks come in all shapes and sizes, therefor each video is a new, exciting race experience. Short tracks are about one hundred fifty feet while long tracks measure out at about three hundred feet. Tracks vary in shape as well, from holes and pits to hills and bogs and everything in between.
Different racers are made for different runs. The hills and holes accommodate the four and six cylinder street stocks. The bigger the class, the bigger the tire. A great thing about the videos available is you can learn about what these cars are made of. Their size, engine, tires and drivers, all for your viewing pleasure.
Mudding is sanctioned by the NMRO or the National Mud Racing Organization. However, in 2008, a new group was formed, making the sport more unified, allotting points to drivers just like regular car racing does. But there are still many exciting groups who get together for a more raw racing style, who aren't part of a team and who aren't sponsored. This is what makes the mudding videos so exciting, the raw racing styles of the various drivers and teams. - 31488
