If and when you find those places, please share them with me. I have been to two private moto -cross parks, one out by the Pala casino, and the other in Ahuanga, North east of the Pachanga casino. Same answer both places. Bikes only. Two weeks ago I went up to Riverside, to a go kart track that offers open practice days. It's open to racing type karts only. Mine are larger two seat off road style. Strike out every where I go. I'll be watching closely to see if you find anything other than the desert. If you are down in the San Diego city area, Plaster City is also a great place to ride. Problem with the desert is that 6 to 7 months of the year it's just too darn hot to enjoy yourself.

My neighbor told me about plaster city last week. My kart is similar to yours. Oh man I thought at least I could find some graded border patrol route to ride on.

Probably such a heavy presence of gokarts/mini bike in certain areas because the cops are cool.

More and more (cops especially) are realizing they cannot be petty to this new generation because this new generation of people will just wait (and jump) at the chance to dump them in a crappy nursing home and forget they exist.

The mini bike rideout in Pitt is MASSIVE and cops encourage it because there isn’t any pettiness and hate. So people flock there by the thousands to have fun. It’s just aloud now so why not partake?

Build a mini bike and go have fun is definitely the new normal Especially in Ohio with all the aftermarket for the 212

I have been to that places and I feel like really fun experience riding there
Plaster City and Ocotillo Wells offer pretty much the same riding experience. Wide open, go where you please. They also have the same weather. Late October
to mid or late April. After that it gets pretty uncomfortable. I go to Octillo because I live in north county. If you live down in the San Diego area, or south county Plaster City is straight out Freeway 8.

Indiana is the racing capitol of the world. We do have a race here once a year. It’s kind of a big thing. People come from all over the world to participate and spectate. It’s called the Indianapolis 500. You may have heard of it. It’s been going on for a few years now.

Especially when the natives dig random hols in the course overnight.
Or, fun fact, they (Baja 1000 event organizers) have to pay off the locals that the course cuts through. My service advisor got to go down to the Baja peninsula last year, and take an on course tour of the whole track. It was thrown together by BF Goodrich to have them test out the new BFG Baja Champion tires on the buggies. Since they were on the course, they had to stop at certain areas and payoff the locals. Not sure if bribes or what, but...yeah that's a thing.

Paying off the Cartels so they won't kill you. Bribe, for sure. In Spanish it's called
La Mordida.
