This write-up comes from "Hillbilly Proud" who filmed the races last year. "The Calhoun County Wood Festival Mud Races held in Grantsville, WV consisted of three mud pits at three depths. A shallow pit, an eighteen-inch pit, and a three-foot pit were all made for the event. The variation made for a great day of fast muddy fun, and the drivers loved being able to drive through what depth they preferred. The Wood Festival races are part of the West Virginia Mud Racing Association point series."  - www.Hillbillyproud.com
