Mudd Bogg draws competitors from across Kansas and other midwestern states. The two-day event opened Friday evening in the one thousand block of Grant Avenue in Junction City.

Drivers take their vehicles burning nitrous alcohol and race through a 200-foot long mud pit at split-second speed. Friday night there were times as fast at 2.4 and 2.5 seconds.

Coordinator Eric Boland thought the times were faster than expected. ” They’re moving!” Cars enter in multiple classes.  This event has become the largest fundraiser for the annual Fourth of July celebration in Junction City, Sundown Salute.

There is bleacher seating for spectators, concessions are available, and admission is $10. Mudd Bogg continues at noon on Saturday and runs through the afternoon and evening.
