This week, the 100 Years of Buggy History Series focuses on the mid-1980s. Buggy explodes (figuratively), as upwards of 50 teams enter the races on the Men’s side. Buggy endures friction (literally and figuratively), as controversial decisions affect results and paved roads produce new winners. And Buggy catches fire (literally), as a truck fire changes the rules forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
