these dont go fast enough to do that. even if you tried your hardest you couldnt

[@aaronleblanc540]

mattjm500 the fords used can't even go fast enough to allow the tires to dig in and flip the car in any way as the speed wouldn't allow the cars inertia to actually.make the dirt push upwards and slow the car. if it was going fast enough anyways, the track is hard packed clay and the fords have an extremely low center of gravity so if you tried to, it's really hard yet it won't happen as they can't even get past 30 in the straights

[@aaronleblanc540]

swamp buggy racing is done by my aunt and uncle and right now im doing four wheeler mud racing, sort of the same but extremely smaller scale

[@kyledegroot14]

Not as weird as you think. it was born of necessity people needed to get into the swamps to hunt they built buggies. guys well have motor will brag and. so it started I race in the jeep class and wouldn't want to race anywhere else. not only do you have the need to build a faster jeep but also water proofing to make it through. things like aqua dynamics come into play over aerodynamics. swamp buggy inc. was founded the same year as nascar it's a long standing tradition in Naples Florida

[@so-flamotorsports7491]

Kyle Degroot Jeeps are by far the funnest class out there I would trade my Sportsman for Jeep any day

[@jayyoutube8790]

Those boast are badass tho!! They turn on a dime and only need 6-8 inches of water to float on. They run a "jet drive" which is a lot like a jet ski

[@psk1w1]

Jetboats were originally designed by Sir William Hamilton (who developed a waterjet in 1954) for operation in the fast-flowing and shallow rivers of New Zealand, specifically to overcome the problem of propellers striking rocks in such waters.

Also the onboard footage the boat is powered by a 13b Mazda rotary motor not a v8😂

@@Zerububble Jet Sprint is also in the Soutwest too. Hill climbs they did the Formula ones in USA too just different rules from Europe done similar to Formula 1 and Indy car. and the Swamp racing is in the Bayou and other swamp parts of the USA.
