Swamp buggy races!

Went to Naples to watch my cousin race.  He’s been racing since 1982
Big crowd-races happen 2-3 times a year (until Naples runs them out)
Lots of wheels came off today
Some of the high powered jeeps stay on top of the water.  The lower powered ones just bog through 



My cousin in his white jeep:  evil & wicked 


Steve came & sat with us between races 
He won both his races 
And the last one, a guy turned him sideways and kept pushing. (That guy was DQ’d), but my cousin still lost and was out of the $$
Fun day though!
