(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Part three of our time-traveling adventure takes us to my hometown (Blackwell, OK) and the mud events there.\u00a0 I believe most of these were put on by the Jaycees and occurred in two different locations.\u00a0 There are at least three events represented in this gallery.\u00a0 Again you will see two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive attacking the slop and see many of the regular suspects shown in the previous two articles.<\/p>\n In here you\u2019ll get to see the \u2018Earthworm\u2019 2wd Chevy take a tumble and the 2wd Chevy \u2018River Bottom Express\u2019 literally hit the spot that had been stopping everyone. \u00a0 Even Landwehr\u2019s \u2018Love, Sweat, & Tears\u2019 fails to make it much past the dam that has been created.\u00a0 However, two-wheel-drive hero, \u2018It\u2019s Only Money\u2019 not only scales the wall but continues far down course.\u00a0 The next time that same pit was used the stew was not so deep and many more managed to exit the pit without the shame of being pulled back to the start.<\/p>\n In here you\u2019ll get a look at the \u2018Midnight Mudder\u2019 tall Chevy.\u00a0 It uses high-crop portals front and rear to clear the goop.\u00a0 Steering\u2026.was handled via two rams and a pivot.\u00a0 No, it didn\u2019t have a tight turning radius, but that\u2019s not what you need for a straight run through the mud.\u00a0 Also in here is a tilt-body Corvette running tall cleats.\u00a0 Lots and lots of mud and water thrown around makes for a good time.<\/p>\n Enjoy.<\/p>\nClick the images below to expand then and then scroll on through the see them all<\/h3>\n
