Saw where Lewistown had there annual bog. Always a lot of trucks go there. Saw some facebook passes. Didn't see any Overlanders. Did any of you guys race there? If so...How did you do??
That place always has sentimental value for me... I won my first bog there. 1989 (High rollers rules, very similar to the national rules today) I had a highboy, 38"groundhogs, 390, 4 speed,. Drove it to work. Drove it to the bog, and drove it to work again the next day.
PS first place paid 300.00 mod stock back then!! 1500 people in the stands too!!
Those were the days!! LOL

Hi jeff, we took the purple truck down, had to run class 2 super stock, tuff class. Bog pit was nasty, first 3 classes only went about 50 feet. In my class i made it 157 feet. Had trouble with the truck, trans. was slippin and the motor started missing, think i have dist. troubles. Around 180 feet was best in my class, there was 33 trucks in my class. It was a long day, my class didnt start till 5:00, think it was about 7:30 when it was all done. But we had a good time.

Steve that was a long time ago, I wish I was a teenager then, that'd make me a bout 20 years younger now!! Lol
Roger "superstock?" ouch that's a tough class for the purple truck.
Sounds like the pit was nasty for sure with those short distances. At 157 feet you were knocking on the door though. If it would have held together for you, you might have gotten them. Hope the trans is an easy fix for ya. I saw some pics of the pit and the mud was very sticky which in turn would add extra stress to the trans. Glad you had a good time anyway. Any day mud racing is better than a day working!
