One Week Left

Ok, I hope everyone is ready,because you are now out of time.So get ready for a four day Whetstone blast of big tires,screaming engines and a whole lot of beer! I'm going to try to get as much film and photos as i can to share with everyone this weekend. I'm sure there will be no lack of mud boggers doing their best to impress. There is seven miles of mud for the boggers to play in,or just get buried. We'll have to see if a truck can make it through the Bog this year on its own without having to get drug through by another truck to open it up.That seems to be the case most years. Every year the trucks keep getting bigger but, the Bog keeps getting deeper, so we will have to wait and see. The Circle hole will be full of water this year I'm sure ,because of all the rain we had. So that means you little trucks better watch it. It only takes one mistake to ruin the weekend,cause oil doesn't mix well with water, just ask BP! Well I hope everyone has a good time and takes care of their mud boggers so they can run every weekend. Well thats it till next week.

Remember to have fun and be safe!

Mud Boggers Of The Past

On my last blog I mentioned the old days. Well I have added some pictures in a page. These are the "mud boggers " we had back then. They were your typical old everyday work truck. You ran what you could,broke what you couldn't afford to get fixed and, yes, you got to listen to your cassette player! As you can see it was before all the ATVs. Everyone grabbed their coolers and jumped into a truck and off we went. Sometimes I think we had more fun that way. You would hit the holes and pray you didn't brake anything , because that was your ride home. The only bright spot was ,if it was Friday you had two days to work on your truck in the hollow until you had to go home. And believe me you would sit for a few days now and then,lol. But it was still a blast. A tank of gas was fifteen bucks, a case of bud was ten and the experience was priceless. Take a look at the pictures and if you have any you would like send me i would be glad to add them. I hope to have some old video to add real soon. I will have some new video in a week or so. Ok you all know the saying.
Have fun and be safe!!!

Mud Boggers Only

Has anyone noticed how many road trucks are hauling the mud boggers rather than hitting the mud themselves.Twenty years ago there was no such thing as a mud bogger, You just jumped in your truck bought some beer and hit the mud. If you had a set of thirty-sixes you had a monster truck. A pair of glass packs and that engine sounded great! Now the daily rider is gone and the mud bogger is here. 44 inch swampers,exhaust shooting out of the hood and some serious power coming from that engine,that runs on jet fuel. The good old days sound good ,but today sounds like a freight train and smells like a 747! For those of us who remember turning up Hank on the cassette player,leave your stereo at home and grab some earplugs and enjoy the show! trust me its a good one.

If you have any comments please be my guest.

Thank you and remember, have fun and be safe!!!

West Virginia Mud Bogging (High Water And Mud Boggers Don't Mix)

Well it's been about a week!

I hope a few of you mud boggers tried out your rides. Now that it has rained all weekend I thought that I'd take this chance to warn ut how fast water can rise. Here are a few photos taken about an hour apart. Remember when it starts to rain look for higher ground so you don't lose your mud bogger. Mud boggers are great in the mud but water can really cost you a few bucks. And if you're unlucky maybe even more,so please watch the creeks and know that it doesn't have to rain where you are at for the water to rise.

Now get them mud boggers going.

And remember have fun and be safe!!!
