Default Opinions on a Mud Run

We have a mud run at the county fair grounds tomorrow from 3-5. My question is this, I have 33" BFG A/T's. (I know I SHOULD have mudders)

Would I be asking to get embarrassed if I went and tried to participate or would I be better off just watching?

I don't know too many details other than I the fact that I know the fairgrounds. I'm assuming it's going to be a strip of mud watered down with a water truck

All advise would be appreciated.

The A/Ts aren't the best mud tires but considering you will probably get a lot of Bubbas in their PU trucks you should get too embarrassed

That's what I was thinking, Just drop the PSI down to 18-20 and try to crawl through it. It's not a big sponsored thing or nothing. Probably going to be more "local boys" than anything. Don't get me wrong, I grew up around here and know that some of the local boys have some nice muddin trucks. IDK about this one

Well, here's before. This is just from the parking lot for the run. It was $30 for two runs. I'm in Class A, no bigger than 33's and stock. Hope this works out. LOL


Will put up pics this evening of the fiasco!

I can't wait to see how he made out.... My bet is1/2 to 2/3's of the way through...

the problem with those events is if you are not the first one to go through... you hit everyone's wall... and that is a killer with "street" tires...

Sorry about delay but yea who cares about embarassment if they dont understand that you have all terrains thus hindering your outcome then they dont have a right to compare in my book... I went to a BIG mudrun in my H1 with BALD tires and the infamous PMD issue so my truck stalled many times within some pits yet still made it out of all of them but the big pit which is bigger than a football field. Had alot of people come upto me and say if my rig had the proper tires it would be unstoppable. I am just waiting on those tires so i can give it another try
