Hot as a Mudder Mud Bog

Lasers and mud! It was a perfect day for WV Mud Hunters Motorsports to try out their new laser timing system. Their July Mud Bog race at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Kearneysville, WV was dubbed “Hot as a Mudder”  for the anticipated Summer heat. Luckily, it wasn’t all that bad.

The crews worked as quickly as possible to get everyone through tech inspection. The Mud Hunters take safety very serious and they want everyone to have a good time and not get hurt.

Before the races you can wander around the pits. But, it wouldn’t be long before all the clean sheet metal would be covered in the finest West Virginia mud.

With rooster tails of mud, it was sometimes difficult to even see the trucks. This was some good mud that sticks to everything! As they progressed through the classes, the trucks just got faster and the mud flew higher. The guys and gals of WV Mud Hunters Motorsports always put on a good show.
