Mike, that sounds like a blast ...
mud is the most fun offroad experience of all
i remember a competition weekend we were on when i was a kid, few hundred vehicles competing and it rained all weekend ... lots of vehicle damage etc so it was a pretty stress filled competition. there was a huge mud hole that the owners of the property had built, with 3 foot dirt humps on all sides ... so as a stress relief before leaving for home, a challenge started to see who could go through the hole (about 5 foot deep in the center) ...
this guy had an F100 that he'd bought & done up just for comps, totally stripped with no trayback, just an extra fuel tank and a spare tyre on the back ... he gunned it, straight over the hump, got airborn, and landed flat in the mud with a huge splash ... it took about 3 hours to get him out, but the entire time was funny as hell - he had a wheel spin going for about 10 minutes, so every inch of the truck was covered with mud (and most of the crowd). the F100 got dumped at the scrap metal yard afterwards because he blew the motor
we should have a webmaster offroad party
