Sounds like this was used by the owners daughters.

“Jeep Sand / Mud Drag Racer 4 X 4 – NO ENGINE Old School Jeep Sand / Mud Dragger from the late 80’s $2500 / open to offers or trade for AMC stuff. NO TITLE for this rig, it was special built for off road use only. This was last raced in about 1991. Transfer case broke and the Jeep has sat in the barn since. I have many more pictures that I can send to a serious buyer. Complete minus the engine. Set up for small block Chevy. TF 727 Trans with manual clutch conversion kit. (no torque convertor) Ford 9″ rear with 5.88 gears (approximate) Dana 20 transfer case that the case is broke but comes with another transfer case. Comes with the tires and rims, but obviously the tires are no good due to age/rot.”
this appears to have a later-generation bobcat fiberglass body.

Lacks an engine, but still may be worth a look.

(06/17/2023) I have no idea what these mud racer chassis are worth.

“One of the top mud racing chassis around. 8 3/4 Chrysler rear end with a strange spool. With 4.56 gears and 35 spline axles. With special chain drive transfer case and Dana 44 frt diff.Set up for Chevorlet. Serious inquiries only please. Cash only”
“Leftovers” with the mocked up name. I don’t like the angled bracket I made at the step. I may just got with two bolts and two washer to keep the body in place rather than the bracket.
Yesterday, I attached the remaining netting, roof, and body parts to the race jeep, only to discover I needed to cut a couple small parts from the floor that were too wide for the body (nothing a quick sawz-it-all couldn’t fix).
The hood requires four bolts to attach it, as I need to make sure it stays secure. Five additional bumpers help keep the hood in place.
It’s hard to test the speed on these short jaunts. I really don’t want to tear up the grass too much. In addition, I don’t have it in four wheel drive, again so I don’t tear up the grass too much. The next time I test it, I will wear ear plugs, because when you hit the gas, it gets loud in the cockpit!
Now it’s time for some helmet shopping!
The Grinch sounds turnkey.

UPDATE: Tom just shared this Google view of how the site looks now. The indents of the oval track can still be seen. He added, “The Pin is in the center of the Mud Race Track. The camp ground is in the trees on the right. The view is looking south“
========================
Tom shared these images from the 1970 Ridge Runners Jeep Race. There’s a couple video clips of the 1977 race just below this one.
Tom added a few historical details I didn’t know, “the Ridge runners had a camp ground on the south side of Ahtanum Creek about half way between Wiley City and Tampico. They rented the land from a guy whose last name was Herkey. The Mud races were held there every Memorial day weekend. You had to ford the creek to get there.”
UPDATE: I haven’t recycled this point since 2009, so many might not have seen it.

Originally posted Feb 26, 2009: This is another set of excerpts from an episode of Exploration Northwest called ‘Mud Race’. As I reported in the post about the Meeker, aka Naches, Trail post, Linda McCune from the Don McCune Library kindly has given me permission to provide some clips from the Jeeping1 DVD, a collection of 3 episodes of Exploration Northwest related to pacific northwest jeeping. To order this DVD, you can contact Linda McCune at 206 726-2650 and ask for the Jeeping1 DVD. It costs $24.95. I encourage you to purchase is as she has the video for a Jeeping2 DVD, but has not created it yet.
The race was sponsored by the Yakima Jeep Jockeys, a club formed in 1963. They began their 4×4 Championship Racing series in 1971.
The Mud Bowl episode was shown in 1977. Mostly, it follows Jim Merritt as he prepares for the race, discussing a little about how they silicone various items to keep out water. Plenty of video showing different stages of the race. It’s a bit reminiscent of the Florida swamp races, though the water holes aren’t quite as deep or long (If you have never heard of it, you can read about the Florida swamp races at four wheeler’s online magazine and here’s a you tube video from a 1996 race).
From the Mud Race episode, I selected two clips. Clip one shows Jim getting ready to race and shows the driver’s pre-race meeting. The second clip shows the final race with Bill Smith from Tacoma taking the win.
Here’s Clip One:
Here’s Clip Two:

It’s a dirty business, but hunting down jeep stories takes me through all types of content. In this case, I had to search through several pages of bare female breasts and bodies until I found this story about a Yakima Jeep Rodeo from the March 1959 issue of Modern Man. I can report that accompanying the enthusiastic models were several other interesting stories . . .
Lots of custom work on this modified racer.

“NO TITLE PROJECT!! I got was I was told is a 1952 CJ. Was setup for barrel racing until the previous owners started making modifications to make it a straight track drag jeep. I got it thinking I’d have the time to get to it but I don’t. I have the transmission for it, axles are there, only have the front tires now.( no rear tires ) cage I’d there but not mounted. Missing the steering rod. Other than that I don’t know much on it. NO TITLE!! Mainly interested in trades for a quad or dirtbike.”
Looks fun for the dunes.
