 Collier County's early development in the 1930's and 1940'swas highlighted by the emergance of strange looking vehicles featuring hugeballoon tires, gun racks, and usually sporting an unusual name like "DirtDobber or Tumblebug". These buggies were born out of necessity, as therewas no effective way to penetrate the vast, boggy mire known as Collier countyexcept for the versatile "Swamp Buggy". Early Collier County settlersrecall the beginnings of Swamp Buggy Racing as a gathering of hunters. Aslegend has it, every year, just prior to the opening of hunting season,(usually the end of October or early November) all the "Crackers"would spend a week or so preparing their buggies for the first legal day ofhunting.  Today, thousands of people turn out to watch the popular andcolorful swamp buggy races.
