I bought them at your high recommendation. All I remember when I was going through the pit was PLOP! Slap! Pow! Plop! SPLAT! From all the mud chunks raining down on my hood, roof and windshield. I couldn't see out my windshield by the time I got to the end. I love them.:grin:

Good job! What class did they put you in? I've been thinking about running in a local mud bog race but need to do some more mods.

I entered the Street Class. They have a DOT 35 and under class, but a lot of those guys have motor work done. They run sub 5 seconds on a lot of them.

No mods needed, especially with 37's. That's what holds me up some are my 35's. With a little more ground clearance, I'd probably do a little better. Its a great rush as you head in! I got the final results and finished 5th. The top four got trophies and cash. Oh well, I'll get it next time.....the 4th place winner beat me by. 08ths of a second. Next time I'm gonna throw a 100 lb bag of sand in his bed before he goes!:lol:
