step back in time about 25 years or so....

I like the chevette and remember you posting it had been reacquired.

I am also sort of partial to Digger, but specifically dennis anderson. He hasn't gone corporate on us and I consider him to be the milder version of John Force in the Monster truck world. There was nothing analytic about how he tackled it and set his mind and will to win and have FUN doing it. He has been a fan hound as long as I have been into it and knows they pay his bills and have given him a life he could only dream of. Army Armstrong had a hand in that too though.....he helped hype it.

We had local mud races within a 50mi radius every weekend it seemed. The oil patch hadn't turned south yet. We weren't getting much for wheat, but cattle was doing good and for the mosty part folks were doing okay so stuff like this flourished. We had everything in the world show up to the bogs too and the sport advanced quickly. I seen everything from a 300-six-powered f-100 with everything clifford made on it grind its way through a bog when all the SBC and BBCs were not getting it done. A few of them that showed up: a 40" tire Honcho, a 40" shod Scout II Rally (in a burnt red no less), agri-tire Jeeps with minimal lift (where have I heard that....), lots of roasted clutches and burned-up autos. 3-wheelers with over-inflated tires and the race guys out with their paddle-tire 350Rs getting completely coated trying to skim the surface. Wish I'd had a video camera.
