Mud Bogs

I read in the Guide magazine there are mud bogs just outside of Wilmington Delaware on Rt.-13. On May 4th. Has anyone ever gone to this event?

I know they have something similar throughout the summer down near Dagsboro. Or in that area.

From what I hear, they are a riot to watch. Especially the guys who have the best of everything and still get stuck in the mud. lol

I do not have the address but I know the location. From 495 s exit at Wilmington go past Bayshore Ford on Rt.13 stay on it. Past airport straight. You will come to an intersection that has a Dunkin Donuts and a gas station and on your left at that light you will see a carnival. That is the area. This is the best that I can do without the guide.

Thanks Sam,
from the sounds of the directions,,,it shout be at Blue diamond park!
Welcome to Blue Diamond Park!
That's the only place over there that would have something like that.

We (the kids,,my gf and I) have been there for a show before.
I think it was a stunt show and sand rails,,,pretty cool place .

When I get a chance,,,I'll take a ride over there and see if they have a sign up for it.

They closed down the amusement park . Didn't get much business I guise...

Hey Guys!!! Stumbled upon this link and thought i'd fill you in.

I've been racing at the Gumboro mudbog for 4 years now. Its a blast!!! Come on out and bring your friends. This year they have all new classes and rules so be sure you check'em out if you plan on running. They have 3 pits side by side (the big, the bad and the ugly) The 1st race was cancelled due to the threat of rain and the owner didnt want to start the year off with a rain out. Theres trucks coming from NC, NJ, PA, VA, and of course MD and DE. They didn't want guys to trailer 4 hrs only to have it cancelled on race day.

The next race is JUNE 1ST and there will be a $1000 purse for the mini-open class!!!
Hope you guys can make it!!!
The website should answer all your questions and has directions.
