2012 Mud Nationals

2012 Mud Nationals
March 28 - April 1 Mud Creek Off-Road Park

2012 High Lifter ATV Mud Nationals held from March 28-April 1 at Mud Creek Off-Road Park in Jacksonville, Texas. The annual event draws almost 13,000 attendees from around the world and about 100 vendors from the ATV/UTV industry.

The annual event draws almost 13,000 attendees from around the world and about 100 vendors from the ATV/UTV industry.

Over the course of five days, attendees could participate in a total of 18 competitive events or races which had cash payouts or prizes. In addition to the events and trail riding, the eXtreme Outlaw Concert Series sponsored by Red Direct Hurricane was held at the Yamaha Oasis featuring Nashville-recording artist David Nail, JB & the Moonshine Band, Jason Cassidy, The Bigsbys, Cody Cooke and the Bayou Outlaws, and The Big Smo.

Scott Smith, President of High Lifter Products, said the 10^th anniversary of the signature mud riding event was a huge success. “I’m always amazed at how substantial the ATV Mud Nationals has become in the past 10 years,” Smith said. “What started as a small ride and good, old-fashioned mud bog has turned into a major destination for riders from around the world. Without Mud Creek’s continuous improvements and expertise, this event would not be what it is today.”

During the event, High Lifter hosted a drawing for a set of Outlaw² tires tested by industry magazine ATV Rider. Winning the tires was Tony Werner from Picayune, MS. High Lifter and RidersEye also hosted a drawing for an all-new RidersEye GPS Tracking Unit. Winning the unit was Michelle Monet of New Iberia.
