Default Question about 4x4 low side

so every other staurday night they have sands drags and mud bogs at the motocross track in surprise, az (speedworld) its called glamis status so its just a big party and hangout. taking my truck down the mud bogs obviously has a soft start off, ive done it in 4hi and does better but what are peoples opinions about 4lo speed reached is possibly 40? just wanna know some advice or experience from this.

he can hold the rpms better and stay in gear... unless u put urs in 2nd or sumthing but idk how much it would winde out.. i would do it.. if 4 hi works then go that route.. i just wouldnt push the 4wd that hard in low.. i mean toruque its great but speed wise.... i wouldnt...
