JC Mud Races_2.wmv

Honestly, we were a little skeptical when we bought the tickets for the 2012 Motor Metal Madness Mud Races at the Josephine County Fairgrounds.  Not only was there a torrential downpour when we left the house but when we got there, there were hoards of people lined up in the rain to buy tickets to get in and we didn't think to bring an umbrella.  Of course our three boys were with us and we'll just say that they weren't quite as enthusiastic about seeing the race as we were despite promises of big trucks and lots of mud.  Like any good parents would, we forced them out into the freezing cold weather so we could get a few shots of the races.  After all, where else can you huddle with 800 other Oregonians in the sideways pelting rain on a stormy Saturday afternoon and drink Coors Lite to this kind of entertainment?

This one is fuzzy at the beginnig but if you wait it out, this little car is pretty impressive and did much better than most of the big trucks!
