Have you ever driven in a mud bog?

Better yet, have you ever driven drunk in a mud bog? I have not, however 26 year old Ricky Lee Rhodes Jr. of Lewistown, PA has. Someone should have reminded good old Ricky Lee that no good ever comes from drinkin' and driven', especially in a mud bog:

State police say an intoxicated man driving a souped-up Jeep at a mud bog event in central Pennsylvania ran over an adult and child. Police say 26-year-old victim Jason Starr of Muncy had tire tracks on his back, while the 11-year-old boy complained of leg pain.

Police have charged 26-year-old Ricky Lee Rhodes Jr. of Lewistown with drunken driving. Authorities say he was driving toward the mud pit when he struck the pair at Saturday's Diamond Mud Bog in Center Township, Snyder County. Police say about 800 people attended the event.

A nursing supervisor Monday says Starr remains in fair condition at Geisinger Medical Center. Police did not release the boy's name, and medical information was unavailable.

The bigger question is why would anyone, let alone 800 people, want to hang out in a mud bog? Apparently because mud and trucks with big tires is cool. Check it out for yourself!
