In 1895, Joseph Mel Bog bought a "horseless carriage" but he couldn't go anywhere because his farm road was too muddy. So he challenged his neighbors to a contest to see who could get the furthest through the mud. It was so much fun, they started making their own mud-and a sport was born. It's sloppy, noisy and hard to resist. Any day now, we expect to see a blockbuster action movie about this exciting sport.
