You have room for a bigger track JS...

[@DetroitMicroSound]

get it banked up a bit in the turns for the highest speeds you guys can get for such a short dirt track. start watering it and working it with your more powerful karts that are capable of drifting those turns.

[@swervinmervin1]

[@ryan14r95]

Drifting is slow, it’s all about going straighter

[@megoingfast]

For water: some large garbage cans have a hose connection on the bottom. Grab a pickup truck, two large garbage cans, and a hose. We used to put them in a mini van, but gotta check gallon to weight limit.

[@LewdnCute]

Treating it with magnesium chloride will work much better and last quite a while.

[@megoingfast]

@@LewdnCute calcium chloride? I still wouldn't want risk breath in too much magnesium chloride. They need to look at drainage before applying chem if they had that weird angle in the track. Don't want to make a pond.

[@oleslewfoot1767]

Like a mini dirt Darlington! Awesome! Also, for watering, a big IBC tank, a valve, a piece of pvc with holes drilled in it. Cap the ends off and set it in a truck bed. Get a pull behind spike aerator to help that water get down in the track.

[@horrse]

I know a lot of people have said it but man Charles is a great addition to the team.

[@edwerts7096]

This is what ive been waiting for! now you will have a place to hold races. Build some race mowers or karts and have race weekends.

[@grantkirkham1799]

Tractor supply sells a lawn sprayer that you pull behind your mower might do good for watering the new track down

Here's an idea for watering the track! Get a plastic 55 gallon drum and make a trailer to bolt it onto. Then, make an attachment for water to spill off of and a manual switch to stop the flow. Pull it behind the Kubota, and give it a try! Can't wait for race day!

[@1one3_Racing]

When we were kids we would use 2 quad bikes to build a track. One in reverse, the other behind pushing it along while it spun in reverse. Worked surprisingly well at the cost of tyres....

[@SwitchBiker]

I'd love to see a racing mower build now that ya'll made an oval track. Maybe with one of those 670cc twins you have, then send it around that oval.

[@TadDoylemusic]

Glad to see Charles in the crew!

[@nothingtoseehere4026]

Think about adding an outer ring to the track (connects to the main course) for faster carts. Also gives a built in pit row for the bigger machines.

[@jackfrost5132]

Guys you are great. Thank you for producing fun and clean backyard gokart videos, my kids and I watch them all and we are building our own, picked up a used Manco FoxII and put a live axle and pred212, disc break and all thanks to you guys and GPS.

[@SD-unlimited]

I think it was 1986 when I was in NC for a BMX race where they built the track inside Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was made out of that North Carolina clay and by the end of the weekend that track was slick with rubber from our tires. Great memories from that weekend.

[@dakotahneal8380]

Turn the durango into a track prep vehicle with a big plastic farm tank in the back with a 12v pump and horizontal tube with holes drilled in it. It would be a good episode on its own

[@shoechew]

A trailer.

[@isatntt]

that durango looks like it needs a welded diff

[@Maybe1Someday]

Durango needs the front and rear diffs welded. Pretty wild when all 4 wheels spin

[@jarekmace1536]

Time to hit the hardware store for an in-ground sprinkler set. That way John won't break off a sprinkler head when (not if) he crashes! Try sourcing a water tank on a skid or trailer that could be hooked up to the system so you don't have to plumb all the way to it.

[@damion8981]

Use old tires and chain them together and drag the tires it will help you with gain rubber to the track and will better the track grip wise. To water a track you could use a pull behind water tank for a watering system or get an old farmersudical bin us pvc pipe and cut some holes in it

[@xfiringsquadx]

I was hooked once I saw the preview for the 3-wheeler-while-holding-root-beer-race.

[@mikeh3851]

A suggestion for irrigation... Get one of those plastic totes with the aluminum cages around it. It will have a 2' valve down at the bottom. then get a piece of 2' pvc pipe, say 6" long, and drill a series of 1/8' holes. Cap one end and connect the other to the tote.Set it in the back of a truck, with the tail gate off. Fill with water... . Irrigation truck...

[@Casualplayer]

YES, MORE OVAL TRACK FOOTAGE, BADASS, make it BIGGGERRR

[@paulking962]

Turned our back field into a dirt track and raced my 63 impala around the 5 acre field. What a blast.

[@veretos7]

Watering system: use the durango to pull a trailer with a kiddie pool on it. Im thinking either Ike and Charles use super soakers, or if you want to get real fancy you could connect an actual water pump to the pool and connect sprinklers. It'll be fine

[@buckykattguitar]

Pvc pipe, some brass nozzles and a water tank with pump on a trailer or on the tractor. I built one to keep dust down in the riding arena at the barn I used to run.

[@tonylay1908]

I have 87 acres and it took me 2 months to build an complete atv track. I dragged a flat bed off of a truck to form the track and the end result was amazing but this Cali heat has my track building on hold.

[@DaggerDong]

This…. This is how you build a dirt track💯😂😂❤️

[@zoominalways]

thank you please more of this

[@broo_shs]

Charles doing what i have many times told you Guys, use a Fence or wooden pallet's or make a wooden triangle, where is a metal edges to push materials away, & put alot weights on it & pull it in tractor or car to get ground level & to make mud places less muddie, exsample in forest section where is alot mud pull it level & put Gravel on those pit's & you can dig a ditch on the right side of the road, so the water goes along the ditch to the right place so you can somehow keep the road out of the mud and water.

[@EddiesSpeedShop]

Hello From The Eddie Friday KZbin channel!!!

[@donaldoverturf621]

I like that 1&2 and 3&4 are different banked and shaped.

[@mortensvendsen5667]

Calsium cloride road salt is something we use in Norway to reduce dusty gravel roads.

[@cliffpalermo]

Work the track with the bucket against the path of travel can also try and build more of a berm this way as well. Can wait to see more please and thanks!

[@dannistjana901]

Hey here is a tip for the watering system, salt. You could put it in a water tank thingie that you use to water the track or simply spread it before watering, makes the soil retain moisture longer and kinda clumps things better. I use seawater all the time in a 1000L tank or two to do just this. A 200L (50gallon) barrel with a pipe with some holes in it, in the bucket of the Kubota maybe?

[@deerwithitUwU]

Y'all should have a lawn mower racing competition! You guys and a bunch of other channels should build them and have a race on that track!

[@UnklbubbasGarage]

Wet the track down . Then roll the track in with the gocarts at a low speed. Start on the outside edge and follow the leader til the dirt is smooth all the way to the inside. Thats how we used to roll in Riverside speedway in South Carolina. The only difference we raced cars.

[@MCscarfacematt]

track watering system, 55G drum, water pump, and a lawn sprinkler, on a trailer should so the trick. fill the drum up from the pond tow it to the track turn on the pump and let the sprinkler do its thing while driving around the track

[@e.k.7624]

Y’all need a drag harrow and a beefy zero turn mower just to keep that area clean and neat…you could also grab yourselves a ditch witch and run a line to the centre of the track by that tree

[@fryreartechnology7611]

Hell yeah brother love making the track to was awesome! With the Freedom Factory coming alive and getting in the swing of it now everybody is going to get tracks of there own. Love it!

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

This Old Man loving your videos. Keep them coming. 🛵😎💝💝

[@Catholic647]

Mount some axles half ones on a piece of PVC pipe a big one plug the ends drill holes in it put a line from a water tank of some sort and it will gravity feed with a line down to the PVC pipe if you hook it up right and pulled around with the Kubota that should work fine!✌️

[@davidjohnson8474]

For the dust how about 2 55gal drums on a trailer filled with water towed by the Durango. Some pipe with holes in them to spread the water

[@seanbeste9989]

To water down the grass just go to harbor freight or northern tool and get a cheap pull behind sprayer. Just drill out the original nozzles on it to spray more water.

[@xxturbowesxx]

Wear a respirator and send it haha. Sprinklers would help but I assume no water out there. If the creek is nearby you could run a hose from it to a 12v marine pump + car battery. I have one on the boat and it puts out some decent pressure. The dust bowl 500 might end up being the mud bog 100 if it rains.

[@williamalcorn8769]

Can't wait just got my first 200 can't wait till morning to take it somewhere with lots of land and a downhill's mud and everything it's going to be fun by the way keep it up doing good

[@Scythe17]

Now a community challenge: Take an overhead drone shot of that grassy area and ask the community to draw/design a dirt circuit that uses the oval track as part of the course that fits in that area and uses that section of the grand prix course. You guys then pick your favorites and let us vote for the finale.

[@brandona1370]

This is very exciting! I am loving the continuous growth of the channel over the last few months! Well done, gentlemen.

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

A few 50 plastic drums in the bucket or on the back of the Tractor filled with water and some holes in the bottom should be able to water the track. You can add some spickets or some kind of ball valves to regulate the flow. Maybe even solder a piece of flattened copper pipe to spread it out. An old sprinkler may work as well. Just dont weigh down the bucket 2 much. Im sure just the bucket will work as well but will be hard to get a good sprinkle

[@wsbill14224]

At the 6:39 mark I'm thinking just race around the track and the dirt will move from the inside of the oval to the outside all by itself. Over time you will have to rake the outside dirt back into the middle. Have fun!

[@antoniorivera6187]

Awesome video guys can’t wait to see you guys burn rubber on the track 👍🏻👍🏻

[@henrymathre8936]

The track is smoother than the roads in Illinois

[@daleosborn3729]

So excited for upcoming races and events on this track!!!! You guys rock!!

[@EdTheMole]

Just use a 55 gal drum and a few pipes and elbows a pipe cap and a pipe valve all things you can get at your nearest farm store put them all together in the proper order then drill some holes for a sprinkling effect and you got a sprinkler if you have a trailer to put the barrel in. Good luck my young friends and the not so young one also lol but always have fun.

[@thedr309]

as far as water, take that big tote you got plumb a section of 2 "PVC with some holes in it and start making laps warning if you want it to not be dusty water it with 4 or 5 loads the night before.... and put one gallon of liquid dish soap in the water.... it will keep dust down and make clean up easier..

[@ratherberacing9932]

Get a 55 gallon drum drill holes in it for pvc pipe with small holes drilled in it on the lower side or bottom add shut-off valves to control the water mount it on a trailer or truck
