They don't need interstate highways in Naples, Florida, they have Swamp Buggies that can go through terrain that Detroit fears to tread. The 14th Annual Swamp Buggy Derby is a lively affair as they splash along a course that would give ducks the heebie-jeebies. Naples, Florida Throngs sitting at the lake side watching men driving their Dune Buggies into the water. MS - Crowd sitting in the stand's. MS - All the Dune Buggies are line up and one of the officials waves a starting flag and off they go. MS - The Dune Buggies in the water cutting through the water making large rooster tails of water. MS - One of the drivers of the Dune Buggy wearing a fireman's hat and on the side of his vehicle is painted a name 'Poni - Horse'. MS - All these Dune Buggies are made to look like jeeps, ducks, hillbilly cars etc.. MS - People sitting in the stands looking and enjoying this crazy race and the mud these Buggies are kicking and stirring up in the water.
