How the heck would the guy who is always on the outside of the turns ever win? By the end of the first turn you would have lost everything being equal.
They should throw a few alligators in there.....just to mix things up a bit! I remember they used to show these in the early days of ESPN. Too much fun, thanks for uploading this!
You say that, until one of the buggies flip over, and all us fans jump the fence to try and save the person. They can't always make it to the emergency air tank. Most of the people racing are local, and our friends. Last thing we want is someone to die. It's dangerous, and all these buggies are built in the backyards of all the locals.
I know this sport has been around at least 35 yrs or more. Even back before Monster Trucks come about. That was back in the early 80's.-70's so yea. It's been around for a minute or too. At NAPLES , FLORIDA..
I wanna know the conversation that took place for this to be suggested.....you know, 10 beers down the line...." so I've got this v8 laying around...what say we shove it in that metal tube you've got, nick those metal saws from the old saw-mill and race it down the bayou?" 🤣🤣🤣
I love the clutch stabs in the Jeep race. Great way to "boost power" without letting off the gas and having RPMs dip. The clutch might disagree, but then again, it's just the clutch.
It was a Cable/Satellite station, called originally The Nashville Network, which years later became The National Network, and lastly just TNN, when they gave up and started airing over-compressed digital files of Starsky and Hutch. Opryland and Christianity originally. I guess Country wasn't quite cool enough. Kyle Petty played his guitar for the nation one night and future star Myley Cyrus made her debut as a toddler on the Crook and Chase talk show, if I'm not mistaken. At her fathers urging, she walked out encouraging the crowd to clap. Showbiz from day one, ain't she sumpin'? And now, in closing, fun fact, back to the swamp buggies and Steve Evans. Jumping in the 'sippy hole with the Trophy Queen in your arms was first prize. 'twas muddy, to say the least. Florida! (Not that I'm bragging, but I once watched Larry Nuber smoke a cigarette during a rain delay at a Cayuge Speedway ASA show once. I would have liked to have met Steve Evans but I think, at the time, he was trying to quit...)
@@badad0166 As a kid I once saw a trophy fire where the winner was walking over to kiss the trophy girl and stopped midway and quickly grabbed and kissed his male opponent!
This is what I love most about racing: a woman participates, a woman WINS, and nobody makes a big deal about her being female. Its just normal. They don't ask for their own "league" they gladly compete against the males. Chess can't even take that lead.
Nobody cares, I could care less what the next person has between they legs, you are either a good person or a piece of shit sex is irrelavant, much like skin color irrelavant
Was there in the same era. Wondered why there were so many open seats at the end of the finish straight-until the first race. Hung in there. The old “Shagnasty” and “No Reverse” put on quite a show.
The old Naples raceway back when ESPN was good they used to show this racing all timethe unlimited class was cool but it was funny to see the Jeeps going to the sippy hole and totally disappear for a second to re-emerge and complete another lap I guess the good old days are truly long gone.
Lmfao I’ve never seen this before. But this is freakin cool as all hell and just goes to show that anything with a motor, racing is as cool as it gets 🤘
Down in Naples Florida this is every weekend.. Check it out on line. They have some really kool trucks boats lol what ever they are.. Oh yeah SWAMP BUGGYS! lol
@@L3GHO5T yeah i was being a smart ass. I got a lot of family down Florida way my dads good friend had a swamp buggy team for years.. I think he's retired now.. Got old. Lol
Watching this again makes me miss my friends that used to do this in Naples fl... #turnerloose #ladybug. This is a very fun and expensive thing to do next to drag racing for sure
I live in collier county. This is a few miles from me. You actually used to be able to ride all around near it. It's almost closed down a couple times, because homes are all around the buggy grounds(Florida Sports Park). It's super loud, and v6 motors are over 1000hp.
As a kid, I used to watch this after Saturday morning cartoons in the late 80s, early 90s. I forgot these machines existed. I remember them running 4-6 at a time
I had a computer game of swamp buggy racing. It might have been good. It's been 23 years so not sure. But i remember the cool box art. So many cool old games I've found most, playing them is another story. But at least i found most. Watching this is cool. Videos like this probably didn't exist on the internet back then in 2001 when i played that crazzy game.
3:16 this is hilarious lol. Those little UTVs with their bicycle tires trying to stay above water. 3 minute lap, and #79 might have actually gotten first place if he'd just stop trying to drive up #241 's ass.
@buffalo wt and by research and development, building these things. I love the F1 talk and I'm not saying that as an insult either. It's just weird seeing it here.
I like how the wheels are also a rudder. 😂 I truly have never seen anything like this then I live in Texas I thought I've seen it all. Turns out the Bible is right there truly is nothing new under the Sun.
Just seems to me, some form of spray guard's/ reducers/downwards deflectors, should be mandatory. Unless they are coming towards camera, all we see is clouds of spray.
It always amazes me what people will turn into a competition. Like doing this would not interest me in the slightest but to each their own I always say.
Imagine me and you neck and neck racing, almost at the finish line looks like you might win until I spanked my ostrich into overdrive taking longer steps lol we will race anything
this seems to be one of the most efficient way to convert horsepower to water spray without the sideeffect of speed
Yeah, I would have thought Sand Paddle Tires would have been better.
Surface tension and resistance in water is not to be underestimated. We weren’t built for the sea that’s for sure
Yeeyee
@@christophermorin9036 b

i love Florida, my one and only home.
Always heard the term Swamp Buggy, didn't realize it was a real thing lol
Les recomiendo usar una lancha, pero chido su cotorreo.
Cool, didn't know this was a thing
Can you tell me where they have races at ? Joe H. I used to watch these races on Wide World of Sports back in the 1960's & 1970's.
Всегда выигрывает тот кто идёт по внутреннему кругу! Это очевидно.
OK SOMEBODY PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME ON HOW MOTORS SURVIVE SUCH DEEP WATER @ THE JEEP SWAMP BUGGY RACE???
Whose here after watching redbull swamp race
Haha yes
I grew a mullet and a handle bar mustache watching this video.
Lmaooooo 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Well a trans am just showed up in my driveway with a trunk full of natty light
My sister keeps getting more and more attractive the longer I watch.
The sleeves fell off of all my shirts in the first 5 seconds.
that made me lol
The quintessential American "if we can put a motor and wheels on it, we can race it." Always loved these things.
Yeah I like weird stuff like this. I love the odd sports I never saw before. Need more!
In so many cases, wheels are optional. If we can make a competition from it and sell hot chips and wings we will

- Yes

@@Salazaris i was about to say the same thing
It's a figure 8 not a circle
He would win by getting better at the coin flip that determines if he gets inside or outside on start, also murica

They should throw a few alligators in there.....just to mix things up a bit! I remember they used to show these in the early days of ESPN. Too much fun, thanks for uploading this!
You don't have to thrown alligators anywhere in Florida, they come on their own. but I'm sure they'd leave as soon as they saw this shit going down
@@bonitabromeliads Whoops, yeah I didn't even consider that.
and mean to alligators is a slippery slope -- where would it end ... ?
@@jimig211 LOL you make a valid point.

Same
try doing that on a bicycle.
I have never seen a more efficient and graceful vehicle in my life.
This is easily the weirdest motorsport that I've been recommended
Dude it’s probably in the top position for that
But cool as hell.
I wanna know the conversation that took place for this to be suggested.....you know, 10 beers down the line...." so I've got this v8 laying around...what say we shove it in that metal tube you've got, nick those metal saws from the old saw-mill and race it down the bayou?"
🤣🤣🤣
As well as the whitest. Lmao.
Figure-8 school bus racing?
Intense life for a fish living in there! Haha
That's what i was thinking. At least they don't do it in the open swamp anymore.
There aren't fish in there. It isn't a fish pond, its a bog specifically designs for racing...
Yeah no fish it get drained sometimes also
Im sure a few fish roaming the prairie stumbled into this oil soaked oasis
Lmfao
I remember these machines. Driving through the "Sippi" holes.
I love the clutch stabs in the Jeep race. Great way to "boost power" without letting off the gas and having RPMs dip. The clutch might disagree, but then again, it's just the clutch.
Item # 4722 on the “why clutches are more gooder than automatics”
First saw this kind of racing on ESPN back in the 80s. They still do it. Neat.

It’s a great spectator sport when they are coming towards you.
I imagine on a hot day the spray feels good as they go past.
Самое из лучших предстовлений. Получил много эмоций. Вы молодцы. Смотрел с удовольствием.
Forgot about these things, they used to occasionally show the races on TV years ago. Interesting machines for sure.
Yeah I probably saw them about 20 years ago
Is this still a thing?, grew up watching this stuff, lol.😆 Neat
These idiots, have obviously NEVER seen a boat!
It's like an unlimited Hydroplane race on Lake Washington .....with wheels.
What I find interesting is how little they have changed in 30 or so years.
Yeah and a lot of these are probably the exact same machines with some improvements
This is what I love most about racing: a woman participates, a woman WINS, and nobody makes a big deal about her being female. Its just normal. They don't ask for their own "league" they gladly compete against the males. Chess can't even take that lead.
she diidnt build it her dadand brother did her husbandhad his hands in it to
the car does all the work
@@Supatrader Of course, we wouldn't expect the 100 meter dash to be co-ed, but there's tons of sports where athleticism doesn't matter at all.
@@kevanrice1496 Of course racing is a team sport even though there's usually only one driver.
Nobody cares, I could care less what the next person has between they legs, you are either a good person or a piece of shit sex is irrelavant, much like skin color irrelavant
I think there might of been one or two beers involved when this was invented
I loved this, went in person probably around 40 years ago, different style of racing and was great to experience.
It's still going on, at least for a little longer. They've built homes all around it.
If he was truly concerned about the future of the Free World, he wouldn't be making such inflammatory remarks.

For people who like their ratio of exhaust fumes to actual speed to be 100/1.
do you actually think thats exhaust?
@@diegootero1686 no he thinks they're EV vehicles emitting no polution.
Paddle boats have certainly evolved since the 1800's.

It's called Florida Sports Park.
Imagine a sport you only win cause you blind the other guy and he refuses to kill people. God this sport is insane.
Damn I remember them jeeps being slow as hell. And they still is. Love it!!
Побеждает тот кто поднимет больше брызг?

Guarantee, a hundred years from now, someone will be racing moon buggies. On the moon.
Never seen this type of racing before. High horsepower, full tilt all the way and suprisingly with paddle wheels.
The jeep race was funny to watch XD
Watching this again makes me miss my friends that used to do this in Naples fl... #turnerloose #ladybug. This is a very fun and expensive thing to do next to drag racing for sure
I'd really like to see the drive train setup on one of these. There's no swamps where I am so I've never heard of or seen one before.
Seems only in USA does such a lot of effort go into inventing such crazy sports. Why do they not just use a boat?
Who came after the redbull last video? 😂
У машины справо стоящей на старте больше шансов. Все повороты на право. Что за тупая карта
They should throw in some sharks with laser beams attached to their heads, or at least some ill-tempered sea bass, to liven things up.

This is just hilarious! I'll be going to my first one down in Naples on Saturday, November 9th. I was told to bring bug spray. I'll need it.
I wonder if they're still hosting this.
I love this stuff a shame it's not on tv like it used to be
When you thought you've seen it all... Florida.
кто едет по внутреннему радиусу тот и побеждает - очень честная гонка)))
If you have a swamp buggy and the inside lane your going to win most of the time
I grew up in Naples. Going to the swamp buggy races and snook fishing is the only thing I miss about that obnoxiously wealthy town.
I'm surprised all that wealth can stand coexisting with all that type of racing.
Cool but it seems that the only challenge is getting the inside on the first corner
No kidding, not much strategy other than that. Apparently after 12 Bud Light it can become suspenseful though...
@buffalo wt and by research and development, building these things. I love the F1 talk and I'm not saying that as an insult either. It's just weird seeing it here.
It's hard to get my head around these vehicles. They are boat cars? With wheels?
Same here. I assume the rest wheels don't touch the ground but push the "boat" through the water.
I like how the wheels are also a rudder. 😂 I truly have never seen anything like this then I live in Texas I thought I've seen it all. Turns out the Bible is right there truly is nothing new under the Sun.
Это что ещё за маразм, на самокате по этому болоту ещё б погонять решили.
много v8 в штатах, поэтому есть гонки на любой хрени, в которую впихнули большой движок)

Just seems to me, some form of spray guard's/ reducers/downwards deflectors, should be mandatory.

Yes we clean The Swamp !!

It's a stupid way to waste gasoline.
Imagine me and you neck and neck racing, almost at the finish line looks like you might win until I spanked my ostrich into overdrive taking longer steps lol we will race anything
I'm in Russia just shocked! Is there anything Americans don't race on? great country !
went there this year, 2017 in march. it was great. great video
Lucas Oil on The Edge is what introduced me to these, and ive always had it as a little back area type of racing.
Sure you can go faster in the slipstream, but damm, you're going to get a bath.
sadly, the inside seems to have TOO much of an advantage to be enjoyable.
the race where inner lane always wins. lol. how exciting
I'm amazed at the construction of the tires. Those ribs are heavy on farm equipment. Seems as though they would tear the tires apart at speed.
Now I know what my purpose on this earth Is all about Where do these usually take place what part of the country I am moving there
joe Squatch Naples Florida has a track.
Is the Mesa Park track in Melbourne FL. still holding races?
Is that the most borring sport , you ever saw.
Some people have nothing better to do.
Saw one race and noticed how unbalanced and onesided track is. No meed to watch further.
The hardest job in the video is the commentator commenting on the Jeep race……
Wow when they reach that top speed of 20mph it really makes you shake in your boots. Lol
This could actually be the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
This has to be the funniest racing I've ever seen
Because boating and racing aren't expensive enough hobbies.
Oh, so THIS is a thing!
I felt sorry for the guy at the back on water-skis...
Да, на таком только от рыбнадзора уходить... Рыбе хана придёт.

So strange yet awesome can't believe I've never seen this before thanks
never heard of this kinda race, looks fun though.
How is this racing no matter what the guy on the inside wins 🤔
