Doing some test runs. I'm currently searching for old tires to make a few "walls" and definitely need to rent a Bobcat and brake out the chainsaw to clean up some areas. No, I don't plan on going under that tree all the time...but that was the ill advised kid in me. https://youtu.be/rRSscTRrO5w

I've prettyuch narrowed it down to a '94 model Dingo. In '95 they went to the full cage and it has the #420 chain which they started in '94.

I assume it has the Comet 99 TC as it has just the motor cradle and the band brake?

Any recommendations on where to pick up a belt?

It's got some slack.

Revs and then catches...but sometimes it's only a second or two...and then sometimes it's more like 10.

Well, I picked this up today. The frame could use a few touch up spots, but the seat looks good and it fires right up. I know nothing about torque converters, so any info would be appreciated. On the test drive, from a dead stop, it took a second or three to get moving but then scooted on...

I can agree with that. I probably paid a little too much for it after I looked at it. But pics to come...and tons of questions!

Thanks for the info! It's suppose to be in good running condition. He wants $400, I figure I would offer $300 and shoot for the middle.

What would be a fair price for this Kart? Im going to look a it tomorrow and don't really know anything but that it has a 5hp B&S.

I had one when I was about 10 that didn't have the cage and the side "wings" were more rounded. How much would you say? I'll be honest, I've been looking for about three weeks and it's mostly $100 projects with two or three issues or $500 to a $1000 buggies.

Found a kart on graigslist. It looks like a kart I had when I was little (mine didn't have a roll cage). He said there is less than a mile on the new SpeeCo engine and he wants $350 for it. Thanks for the help guys!

here is the update on what I have to work with until the fall. I'm thinking I may just stick to "lap time" racing for now. -The green circles with brown cross hatch are trees that are small (maybe a trunk a 1' in dia.) but are low to the ground and have foliage that sticks out a bit. -The...

What kind of space would you guys like to have from the edge of your track to permanent objects (e.g. trees) and other sections of the track (sections of the track where karts could meet head on)? I did some bush hogging, but still haven't got the drone out. I'll actually have a lot smaller...

This is just like hanging out with my real life friends. "Hey, Derick, how's that backyard trac...squirrel! Man, I want some cake. Do you know a good dog groomer?" lol I did a screen grab with my tablet and cropped it down and added the lines in LectureNote. Then did another screenshot and...

I kind of like this idea.

Yep. Google maps. I plan on busting my drone out after a little work to update progress. Thinking I may spray two lines to get an idea of width and proximity.

Thanks for the tips. One of the main goals in the "tree area" behind the house is to keep speeds down and make it more technical. Although the tree trunk closest to the house should be down before the track is "finished". That may give me a bit more space to work on an area through there. I'm...

All input is appreciated! Like I said it's a rough draft and once I actually get a cart and get it laid out and actual "at speed" feel things may change. Running clock wise and on dirt I'm not too worried about any of the areas except one and I do plan on putting a tire "wall" in place. But...

I'm just stating the initial planning of my back yard track. About two thirds of the planned area is "pasture" at the moment. I'm really wanting to do some landscaping and make it look nice. Right now I'm kartless and only have a preliminary sketch of what I want to do. But I have a few leads on...
