Mud bogging

The motor sport is overseen by sanctioning bodies like the American Mud Racers Association, and the National Mud Racing Organization (NMRO), that oversee each class, develop and maintain the relationship with track owners to provide a racer and fan-friendly facility, ensure the sponsors get a good return, and help govern the sport.

[1][2] A modern top level Class V or VI mud racer is a dragster-style rail design, with a supercharged engine and/or nitrous oxide injection.

By the late 1980s, many sanctioning bodies began giving precedence to vehicles with modified, and lower, dragster-type "rail designs", as they had increased in popularity.

At the same time, superchargers first became widely used, leading to the modern top-level racer.In the late 1970s and most 1980s mud bog events, there was generally a class that was for running tractor tired trucks.

Trucks like the Arizona Outlaw, Goldbricker, Six Pack, Arizona Sidewinder, Instant Motion, Mud Lord, Mud Pup, Wild Thing, Grave Digger, Nasty Habits, Unnamed & Untammed, and the legendary Cyclops were frequent competitors.

Years later around 2006 a new era of Mud Bogging started to evolve and has since grown into a worldwide internet sensation.

Today, Mud Parks around the eastern half of the United States have events that draw in thousands of people who bring their Atvs, UTVs, buggies, lifted Jeeps, and Mega Trucks to participate in the act of Mud bogging.

Most Mega Trucks are built with a custom chassis, have five-ton axles, upwards of 700 horsepower and have tractor tires.
