CRISFIELD MUD BOG
Sunday MAY 27, 2012
It always seems to happen at least a couple time during the mud bog season when the joy of a fast fun turn into a nightmare for everyone - especially for the drive.
Blaine Hitchens driving his truck "Rare Species" Blaine had just completed a 3.0 run through the mud when he excelerated causing his truck to swerve the hit the trees, wiped out the new digital timing board, turned over and finally came to a rest on its top.
In his introduction it was stated that the engine alone in this truck cost to the tune of at least $70,000.....maybe more. - That's not counting the body work.
Thankfully Blaine had no injuries- except pride and we all know how easily that gets damaged for some of these drivers. Goes with the sport.
Watch what happens when the truck finally comes to a stop. Be sure to play close attention to the first to arrive to Blaine's aid...... (no matter who the racer is he just arrives before anyone else)
(Thank you, Patrick)
And thank you to the Lower Shore Ambulance
(one of the nicest things about mud bogging in Crisfield)
Mud Bog Races will return to Crisfield in July for a night race.
That should be lots of fun - never been tried before.......don't miss it.

Anon 4:51 - Sure it did! Done any pricing lately? A 3.0 time through 200 feet of mud is fast. There have been a few trucks that have had a time of less than that. But these motors cost a great deal of money most times. Good engine parts are expensive. Check it out before you begin using the word "idiot".
Maybe you should pay a visit to the Crisfield Mudbog and put YOUR money where your mouth is. I'll set you up with Blaine and let him tell you about his engine.....then you can criticize him and the people that race there......
Small winning payout? Compared to where? Duh.
Well for your information I paid for that motor!!! Yes I am Blaine L Hitchens and before you post something maybe you should get your facts straight!!
Oh and by the way...crisfield is only 150 ft!!!
Thank you, Blaine. By the way, Blaine- don't shoot the messager! My husband races "Short and Sassy" and I was always told 200ft.
