Swamp Buggies

Naples Florida: a Mecca of retirement villages and well-groomed golf courses. Three times a year drivers and fans alike gather at the Mile 'O Mud to watch swamp buggies battle. Naples native Leonard Chesser, known as the Godfather of swamp buggy racing, has pioneered the sport for more than three decades. Most buggies competing are equipped with technology Leonard engineered. His daughter Amy, nephew Eddie and racing newcomer Troy Ortega represent a new generation of swamp buggy racers. While Amy and Eddie use old school methods, Troy's buggy, Terminator 3, is equipped with a newly-designed, independent suspension system and super-light chrome-moly chassis. Will old school buggies prevail, or is there a new breed of unbeatable buggies on the swampy horizon?
