I have seen guys make a lap stop pull filter pour water out hand choke take off again another lap stop and repeat the process over and over and still not blow motors. I think it was just a coincadental. we have raced in water a 1" deep ruined pulleys bearings but no motors you couldnt even tell what color we were after.

I am sure none of those stock engines were over-revved in the mud....or anything like that?

actually Jon no, we weren't haveing traction problems and the guys were going pretty slow because they could not see a thing !!! probably another reason why they couldn't avoid the puddles! It was just an unavoidable circumstance....

And with that, I just watched some Riding Mowers "Mudding" videos on You-Tube....(with stock mowers).....And I have even done that too...........no failures......so much for that "super Cooling" theory!

If you quit when you're behind, you will never win.

FUNNY and also true Jim !!!! lol......
Here we are very much used to having enough water on the tracks just to keep the dust down !
One thing I forgot to mention that was funny also about that race...Home Depot ran out of rain suits that day, we were all Team Yellow!
