I probably have at least 15 -18 different scenes from the 1980's and 1990's......but I don't have any from the last 5 years or so.
I don't have precise info on what the current status is......but their website is still active....and they DO still have Swamnp Buggy races and dunking the queen each year....their website is here
The problem is....I don't think they have a contract with any of the TV stations any more. They always used to show the Swamp Buggy Dunks on the TNN Channel (not the Speed Channel)...but TNN no longer carries that event. Logically, their events should be on the Speed Channel....but they don't show it.
As I recall....they dug their own grave....cos during the 1990s they had several disputes with the landowners of that park and also with the union...that caused things to be shut down for many months...and that is when TNN pulled out and stopped featuring that event...cos of legal disputes at the Swamp Buggy park. Those have apparently been resolved now....but they lost their tv rights.
You CAN still go down their and watch the events in person...including the Swamp Buggy Queen getting dunked....and I have made offers to several folks to go and tape things for me.....but nobody but a diehard swampy buggy fan would want to go....because...lets face it....all you are gonna see all day is muddy guys and very few women in mud...and the actual dunking of the queen lasts only 5 minutes...and nobody I know wants to travel to see an event that only lasts 5 minutes.

By bryce - brycepunk1@earthlink.net Sat 04/03/06 20:30:23 GMT Yeah, those scenes were always such a let-down. It was a fun sport to watch though. Is it on Speed channel maybe? They seem to have all sorts of obscure motor sports on in the wee hours. |

By Sopping - Sat 04/03/06 17:48:40 GMT I think MK will agree with me on this. In the last few series they gave a big buildup the the dunking of the queen, then showed it as they ran credits, cutaways, and all sorts of junk, completely wiping out the dunking scene. MK has some old ones in his archieves that are quite good. But lately...no loss IMO.

By Terry - Sat 04/03/06 16:49:04 GMT Does anyone remember Swamp Buggy Racing from Florida. The dunking of the Swamp Queen? It was covered for several years on TV and they even had an active web page. Seems to have disappeared. |
