Naples' own motorsport since 1949: homemade machines on tractor tires racing a flooded oval called the Mile O' Mud, in classes up to V8 rigs that hydroplane. By tradition the winner throws the year's Swamp Buggy Queen into the mud with him, a custom the queens have opinions about. It began as a hunters' party before the season and never stopped.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
