We built a Backyard go kart race track

[@LOWW-TV]

That is rad!! 🙌👌 That would be a blast! 💯 My son and I would dig it!! 💯🤟

[@jshirwin68]

The Bueller chassis is a great dirt chassis. Used to race, ran one on an oval with a wedge body. That would be your next step, downforce. Helps keep kart cleaner too.

[@OldNo7Garage]

Those wedge bodies are where it’s at. Reminds me of the old wedge late models.

[@jeffpolsene680]

You could always make it exciting and put some sprinklers outside the track. Then on those extra hot days you can control the dust and get cooled off at the same time. lol

[@OldNo7Garage]

Lol true!!

[@codyeberhart8807]

We run slicks on our factory stock in texas they get better bite then kk704 tires on a tacky track and dry slick tracks

[@OldNo7Garage]

Yep since this video, we’ve started watering the track and keeping bite in it. It’ll eventually slick off and be nice and smooth. So we quit running the grooved tired and stuck with slicks

[@ryan14r95]

Cody Eberhart sane here at Boothill, Lonestar, and Ark La Tex speedway.

[@funnerthanbefore4947]

Leaf blower for the loose stuff before you water it, and the hard pack under the dust should harden even further, especially if you run the same groove every time...

[@OldNo7Garage]

You know I was just thinking about that today, thanks for the tip!!

[@dennymcfastlane8530]

Also, pick off every little rock or foreign debris from the track, before & after a race or practice session. When a high revving tire hits even a small stone, it will leave a crater/rut, and it will only get bigger--until it has to be repaired. My Track was a dirt oval at 170' x 95'. I used a Powerful Gas Leaf Blower also, but some still had to be hand picked off the surface. And, if you don't water the track to keep the dust down, plan on changing oil and cleaning your filters out more regularly! My Dog did the same thing when i went out--haha. They cheat also, like cutting across the infield to cut you off! Good Luck & have Fun!!!

[@OldNo7Garage]

Denny Mcfastlane thanks for the tip! Yeah dad gum dog! I’m going to protest him! LOL.

[@donoho33]

Well the smooth tires for 1 are maxxis EL tires.that punch 60-70. So super hard.the groved tires look like hossiers tires.so depends on what series they are.But are most likely 10-20 points softer.the flathead on gas is way down on power against a 196cc clone on gas. So need to level the playing field out.

I used a 55 gal drum on a garden trailer towed behind a riding lawn mower. mount a pipe on the drum with a piece of pipe with holes drilled in it

[@mrs19jr]

Another reason to add to my list of reasons why I need a skid steer 🤣😂

[@threeaxis359]

You wanna make that track a real blast make it oval / figure eight. Then you can do some figure eight racing.

[@rncboy2]

It is mostly tires and stagger and if the track is smooth an moist. i know kart tracks around here run slicks maxxis els and pinks and blues as well as burris. hopefully those tips help.

[@rncboy2]

one more thing you can groove the slicks if im not mistaken.

[@OldNo7Garage]

Thanks! We grooved some slicks and it works really well on this particular track. We will look into the stagger!

[@rncboy2]

Stagger is helpful sometimes with these karts and yes all tracks usually depends.

[@rncboy2]

Oh an I'm sorry I told you you could cut the slicks but that's not possible with these tires. If you want something you dont have to prep to get it to really stick. I would go to a set of tredaed tires. Wet it. Pull the disc harrow across it pack it not to tight and repeat 2 more times. Should be good to go. I'd definitely prefer a moist track.

[@OldNo7Garage]

Kylee Kyotee perfect, thanks!

American`s have endless farm`s to do it on as hard work being a Farmer and i respect anyone who does it. Have Bultaco Go Kart engine`s the 110 European 250cc as trying to build a Fake Astro Flat Track with a Pursang frame ( Lower Head with Shame ) as just can not find any to buy in England. Looks fun bet the kids have a blast on them thoe

Big kids and little kids have a blast, with the big kids being us adults!!!

My question is how do you get this go karts

[@MrKyleb21]

Throw some water on that thing and I’ll bring the RWYB over for some footage.

[@OldNo7Garage]

Yep, we are getting that lined out as we speak

[@OldNo7Garage]

Funny question, what is a RWYB???

I love this😂

Both chassis to me look like vintage sprint chassis not dirt oval chassis I own a few vintage karts and love my Margay pro x and expert 2 chassis...
