The Return of
Molokaʻi Mudbog
For decades, there had not been a mud bog on the homestead in Hoʻolehua. What once brought together families, racers, and communities across Molokaʻi had slowly faded away.
Then one phone call changed everything.
After traveling to Oʻahu in 2024 to compete, the Alcon ʻohana realized the passion for the sport had never left. The thrill, the tradition, and the memories were still there—and they knew it was time to bring mud bogging back home.
What began as an idea quickly became a family mission. With the support of generations of ʻohana, the homestead track was rebuilt, and Molokaʻi Mudbog returned.
A family legacy, a revived tradition, and a community brought together through mud, motors, & aloha.

The Heart Behind It All
Midnite Burner was built back in the 1980s by Bobo Alcon and entered in mud bog events hosted at the Homestead in Ho‘olehua by the Davis ‘ohana, as well as races on Maui. Back then, Midnite Burner was also driven by Pat Kawano Jr.
In 2024, Midnite Burner was resurrected and rebuilt by Bobo’s son, Kamaile, and grandsons, Kahanu and Nohi. It competed in a mud drag race on O‘ahu in October 2024 and a mud bog event on Moloka‘i in July 2025. It is now driven by Bobo’s grandson, Kahanu.
Midnite Burner is the foundation and motivation!
Built by ʻOhana
From parents and grandparents who shared the homestead, to siblings, children, nieces, nephews, and volunteers who spent months building the track and preparing the grounds, this event was created together.
Every fence post, every lane, every banner, and every detail was built through countless hours of hard work and sacrifice. What visitors see on race day is the result of an entire ʻohana and community coming together. From the beginning, the vision was simple: create an event that was free for both racers and spectators.
The goal was never just to hold a race. It was to create something that families could enjoy together—a place where the community could gather, local businesses could be supported, and visitors could experience the excitement of mud bogging on Molokaʻi. The same passion that inspired Midnite Burner decades ago now lives on in the next generation. And with every race, every volunteer, and every family that shows up, that legacy grows stronger.
