Dud Bolt was a Vulptereen Podracer pilot who was known to participate in the Boonta Eve Classic, preferring the use of a Vulptereen 327 Podracer. During a Boonta race that took place shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Bolt raced against a young human boy named Anakin Skywalker, who would eventually win the Boonta and earn a life free from slavery. Bolt continued to race up to the start of the Clone Wars, including participation on a snow covered planet.
