Guys like to brag about the mud bogs they hit on the weekend, but hearing the stories gets old after a while. The real fun starts when a person gets their own truck. Then they can brag after the weekend is over. It is a blast going through the mud pit in your own decked out truck.
Guys have been doing this for years but it seems to be becoming a nationwide past time. It is even gaining some traction worldwide as a sport. There several names it can be called such as mud bogging, mud racing, mud slinging, some just call it mudding. It really just means there is a pit of mud and the person that makes it the farthest wins, in other words bragging rights.
To get the hang of the mud pit watch a few competitors go through first to learn the strong and weak points of the mud bog. Do not be in a hurry to be the first one, watch and learn first. After some information has been gathered then the chance of success greatly increases.
There are many videos online that can be valuable knowledge concerning tactics and discipline. Many examples of how it should be done and how it shouldn't be done (some of the best learning is want not to do). Some examples show actual racing, others simply show drivers fighting their way through deep, muddy holes or pits simply to prove they can take it.
The two things that are needed to get any event started are trucks with good strong engines and lots of mud. The more moisture the better and the larger area the better. If it's just a couple of guys out for the weekend any wet hole will do but if there are going to be spectators then a larger area may be required. It does seem to draw a crowd of on lookers.
Just starting out any truck will be fine but eventually upgrades are gonna be needed. The engine is always a good place to start,the more power the better. boosting the suspension will help eliminate the swaying that can lose traction.
The tires are the key to the greatest success of any good mud boggin truck . More aggressive patterns seem to have better traction over tough terrain. Better traction equals more distance and distance is the key to winning events. Also a back and forth motion offers new ground for the tires to grab on to. Try to maintain a good steady forward motion, changing the gears often seems to lose forward momentum.
