I searched and did not see anything like this, so if you guys need to move or delete, I understand.

Let's include parking lots, roundy round tracks, drag strips, and tiller racing tracks, strips, hillclimbs or whatever @Thepartsguy comes up with, 😆 🤣 😂
Let's have some fun checking out different areas.
Where do you ride?????

I'll start it off.
Here's where I ride. Theres 3 entrances from my property to get to trails. Gotta jump on some gravel roads to get to some more. Take the hard road to get to some more. Can't really tell from pics how steep some of the hills are, but you can see some tops of trees in some pics. Today I couldn't get to any of the top of ridges to get good pics, downed trees laying across trails. I gotta get the chainsaw out soon. Next time my grandson comes over, we will get some better pics. Enjoy.20230405_165632.jpg20230405_165848.jpg20230405_165853.jpg20230405_165932.jpg20230405_170501.jpg20230405_171358.jpg20230405_172116.jpg20230405_171751.jpg20230405_171812.jpg20230405_171911.jpg

When I get my kart going I'll post riding area here!

Maybe one day I'l get out to Busco Beach, It's about three hours away from me. I should be happy with on streaker around me, I got a field out behind some hilly, narrow woods and enough space in the backyard to have some fun. Not to mention, a parking lot on either side of my street!

I would like to go to Busco Beach and meet the cars and cameras guys. And run that dirt drag strip.

many many test rides races and general Tom foolery have happened on this small road. The cop down my street does not care. He knows exactly where I live and who we are... I’m in the country and out here the people are real heavy on don’t say nothin won’t be nothin. so we all get to have a good time on a nice day.D52A088D-1EAB-4A20-B1FB-0286B592251B.jpeg

Sounds like a real good time! I wish my area was like that, someday I'm going more rural.

We were really rural 24 years ago....not so much now, luckily we have a good property location and Noone can get too close, closest neighbor, 350 ft away is us also :p


Turned old house into a shop :sifone:

Next real neighbor is up on the hill And we have never been able to see them.

Hopefully by next winter we will have a central trail inside property lines, no idea how long, we used to wheel it, then make connections that will look like a compass....lunch spot at creek, outlook up the holler, massive hill clumb (have only been down it, never made it up even locked front/rear.....etc.

I wanna do a go pro trail ride, not sure how much land cars and cameras have to compare to The camera angles make it look huge but lap times are quick

Yeah the C&C guys have enviable space. I'm not looking to go out 'The Boonies' but I'd like to go a little farther than I am now. At least you got good land! Old house to shop is cool. I feel like we're running out of rural on the east coast, though the middle has almost exclusively rural land.

Yeah, I am curious about how much they have for content, we got like 17 acres here, but the hay pays taxes so....we can't use what is hay...but at under $300 a year .... :unsure: wife doesn't want it to look like a 1980's horror movie corn field theme
I feel like cornfield horror movie would look great! Or maybe Interstellar cornfield, that way you could drive your karts through it to reenact the movie.

No trails today, too slippery. Doing some WOT launches with minis, I don't get to do that very often.

The buggy's tav belt was wet, I didn't wanna smoke it.

There's a lil bit of difference in a stock engine, clutch, jackshaft set up and slightly modded engine, and tuned tav set ups.

Today something glorious happened. absolutely moving down the hill towards the four way and I have the no stop right of way. A bunch of people in a truck stopped at the four way stop sign watched me blast out into the middle of the four way slideways hug the corner HARD and follow though down the bend. I forgot how much fun this thing is... I had it for sale and I’m so glad it never sold. EDC13926-2B16-42F7-BA4D-83C6E008E25A.pngC20E5987-5138-449E-AF7B-480FDDD5B664.jpeg
