Got bored, so I took the buggy to the mud sling yesterday to see how she'd do. They put me in the super modified class w/ trucks w/ 800+ hp burning alcohol ;( But overall I didnt do too bad, 110'. Cant compete with some built mud runners on their turf, was just for fun and entertainment. Now for alot of cleaning.

Where was that?

Saturday morning on I-40 near Chapel Hill I saw 3 different mud-racing trucks on trailers heading west. They were really clean, so must have been before the race. :) Wonder if they were headed to the same place you went?
 
In the middle of BFE Clayton between tobacco fields. If they were heading west, they were going somewhere else.
 
YUK! That goo looks naaaaaasty

Looks like a bunch of fun though!! the ka-pow out the exhaust was perfect right at the end... :D

a rock got stuck in the throttle return and jammed it at WOT. My cat like reflexes just turned it off......and kapow.

Most likely they were heading to Reidsville.... Saturday night they had a big mud bog with double payouts. I think they do the double payouts once a year, so it draws some out-of-towners. My wife's ex-husband is really into them, so when her girls are with him for a weekend of a mud bog, the girls go, and I get to hear all about it. I'm not into mud at all, or I'd give it a try. The girls like rock-crawling with me, but they like the speed better of the mud bogs.
 
I hate I wasn't there to share that moment!
That's Willow Springs Mud Sling. 3.5 miles from my house. I've been a mud sling junkie for a while now. It's about the best of all slings I've been to besides Chinquipen down towards the coast. It has 2 tracks with continuous excitement.
Willow Springs is located off of Hwy 42 in Southern Wake County. Panther Lake Road. Every 1st Sunday (I believe?) They switched to Sat. for a while but signs reads Sunday now.
I guess they couldn't put a buggy in the street class?
Classes are:
36.5" Street class 4 and 6 cyl.
36.5" Street class 8 cyl.
38.5" Modified
44" Modified

Classes are different at every track. Chinquipen has like 14 different classes including a VW class.
 
That's right, Willow Springs is the stuff. And i saw that buggy in action, as a matter of fact he forgot his helmet and borrowed mine! Although he did better than i did, i had some engine problems oh well better luck next time, for me anyway.
