You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Mud bogging.jpg|thumb|An example of mud bogging]]
'''Mud bogging''' (also known as '''mud racing''', '''mud running''', '''mud hogging''', '''mud drags''', or '''mudding''') is a form of [[off-road]] [[motorsport]] popular in [[Canada]] and the [[United States]] in which the goal is to drive a vehicle through a pit of [[mud]] or a track of a set length.  Winners are determined by the distance traveled through the pit.  However, if several vehicles are able to travel the entire length, the time taken to traverse the pit will determine the winner. Typically, vehicles competing in mud bogs are [[four-wheel drive]]. The motor sport is overseen by sanctioning bodies like the American Mud Racers Association, and the National Mud Racing Organization (NMRO), that oversee each class, develop and maintain the relationship with track owners to provide a racer and fan-friendly facility, ensure the sponsors get a good return, and help govern the sport.<ref>((cite web|title=American Mud Racing Association|publisher=American Mud Racing Association|access-date=May 12, 2014|url=http://www.iracemud.com/amra.asp))</ref><ref>((cite web|title=National Mud Racing Organization|publisher=National Mud Racing Organization|access-date=May 12, 2014|url=http://www.nmro.net/information|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140626031436/http://www.nmro.net/information|archive-date=June 26, 2014|url-status=dead))</ref>

==Vehicles==
A modern top level Class V or VI mud racer is a [[Drag racing|dragster]]-style rail design, with a [[supercharger|supercharged]] engine and/or [[nitrous oxide]] injection. Engines may be in the front or the rear of the vehicles. Vehicles are required to have four wheel drive, in order to assure that the vehicles have the best possibility of avoiding being stuck. The sole difference between Classes V and VI is the tire type. Class V racers have [[US Department of Transportation]] street legal mudding tires for traction. Class VI vehicles have tractor tires.

Early mud boggers were [[pickup truck]]s or [[sport utility vehicle]]s modified with [[suspension lift|lifted suspensions]] and larger tires, and classes exist for such vehicles today.  Engine upgrades were also common.  In the late 1970s and early 1980s, large [[tractor]] tires became popular, and the [[drive line]]s required to run such tires led to some of the first purpose-built mud bogging machines.  By the late 1980s, many sanctioning bodies began giving precedence to vehicles with modified, and lower, [[Drag racing|dragster]]-type "rail designs", as they had increased in popularity. At the same time, [[superchargers]] first became widely used, leading to the modern top-level racer.[[File:Unimog U1600.jpg|thumb|Mud bogging [[Unimog|Unimog U1600]]|204x204px]]In the late 1970s and most 1980s mud bog events, there was generally a class that was for running tractor tired trucks. Trucks like the Arizona Outlaw, Goldbricker, Six Pack, Arizona Sidewinder, Instant Motion, Mud Lord, Mud Pup, Wild Thing, [[Grave Digger (monster truck)|Grave Digger]], Nasty Habits, Unnamed & Untammed, and the legendary Cyclops were frequent competitors. Some of these trucks would later be modified to be [[Monster Trucks]].

There are many types of mud bogs, from Hill and Hole, Flat or Progressive Track, to Open Bog. They come in many shapes and sizes from ((convert|150|ft|m)) to over ((convert|300|ft|m)). Hill and Hole tracks are usually  ((convert|60|ft|m)) wide ((convert|200|ft|m)) long, over a series of hills and holes. All NMRO tracks are Flat or Progressive tracks, more like a drag strip, or sand drag. Open bogs come from Florida and are mostly natural. These tracks have little organization.

Hill and Hole classes range from 4 and 6 Cylinder, Street Stock, Hot Street, Renegade, Super Street, Small Tire Modified 36″ and below, Big Tire Modified 37″ and bigger tire, Unlimited, X Class, and more. There are many classes, usually set by the tire size and engine.

Most Unlimited and X classes are open within the bounds of safety rules. These trucks have big power engines, built just for that class and are not limited to what can be added to the truck. The truck must pass all safety rules and be safe to put in a show and not hurt the crowd.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.mudboggingtrucks.org/ |title=Mud Bogging Trucks |access-date=2011-04-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110521011753/http://mudboggingtrucks.org/ |archive-date=2011-05-21 )) Mud trucks; Retrieved April 27, 2011</ref>[[File:Land Rover Series III mud bogging.jpg|thumb|right|[[Land Rover Series III]] crawling out from a muddy hole]]National Mud Racing Organization is currently one of the only major professional championship series left. Their rulebook is the general basis for most other mud racing competitions. The NMRO was founded by Gary Baker of Dayton, Ohio. 

USA Motorsports and USHRA ran professional mud racing series, both referred to as the Indoor Series, for many years until it was phased out of events around 1995. They would occasionally have mud bogs as part of later events, but not on the same scale as before.

Years later around 2006 a new era of Mud Bogging started to evolve and has since grown into a worldwide internet sensation. Today, Mud Parks around the eastern half of the United States have events that draw in thousands of people who bring their Atvs, UTVs, buggies, lifted Jeeps, and Mega Trucks to participate in the act of Mud bogging. Most Mega Trucks are built with a custom chassis, have five-ton axles, upwards of 700 horsepower and have tractor tires. Some drivers enter their Mega Truck in freestyle, Hill'n Hole, bounty hole and Tug of War competitions and compete with others for cash and or trophies. Some Mega Trucks have a blower motor or an alcohol injected motor that will bring upwards of 1,500 horsepower. In order to make competitions fair the trucks can be divided into different classes such as Mega Truck Class, 1 Ton class and Super Truck Class.
