If there is anything more fun playing around in a muddy field and acting like an 8 year old, then it must definitely be racing in a muddy track. Yes, these are such a thing as mud racing. And this is not held in a simple, flat racing track splattered with wet earth, but a circuit with varying levels of elevation to match the twist and turns. Meaning, the vehicle of choice will slosh through 3 feet deep of murky muddy water and at some parts go jumping over a mound of earth 5 feet high.
And the vehicle of choice for this kind of race? Something that is a little smaller than a monster truck. Call it a mini monster truck, if you will. Any vehicle with less than 3 feet of ground clearance will definitely and literally get swamped in this event. So even ifs it’s a trusty 4 wheel drives off road vehicle, a few modifications must be done, and this applies even if it’s Hummer.
The engine, suspension system, brakes and everything must be spruced up, and most if not all of the leading manufacturers of aftermarket parts have just the thing for a monster truck. However, a few parts like HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, and Tein coilovers may be more suitable for tuners with on road vehicles, but a few of these may come in handy for that 4 wheel drive off road vehicle. Mud racing is not to be confused with a 4 wheel drive off road course where a Range Rover Defender has to work its way through rocks and other obstacles and sometimes even use a winch to complete a certain task. Nope, that isn’t mud racing.
Mud racing is different, and although it is not as popular as other 4 wheel drive off road races, it is rapidly gaining popularity.
