This looks like mega-awesome fun. Anyone wanna try???

[lighthammer]

Any fabricators or welders here who could design such an obstacle?

Or anyone with a piece of land and a backhoe, to make a mini obstacle course for us to test our LSD's and A/T tyres on???

[lighthammer]

And some nissans doing their thing too (first vid is a repost from another thread)

Remember my navigational challenge thread.. Same thing, except I wanted to make it into a lil fun competition..

If you could find a forest or somewhere where the terrain has lots of undulations, it could easily be modified into a course.. rather than creating one from scratch..

i have a large parcel of land in the forest doing nothing...and i was thinking to develop it into a mini dirt course for atv and pick ups etc?

do u think it is a profitable investment or just a "play d arse" as u can say...with little or no return?

[Team Loco]

lawd, look another venum....z lol

if you looking at that investment it must be sustainable. is it everyday you would get clients? dont think so.

[venomz]

loco...land is over 15acres

forested/ flat land with a river running tru the first 2 acres in an "S" shape

so im thinkin sheds...for rent etc...like a small harry water park without the water sildes ...place to cook . ponds to fish in that u take home/ dirt track for atv that i will have to rent per hour..and a bigger course for the offroaders...

[ek4ever]

That new Patrol looking borse

[Jeremy Mohd]

Start small and see..
Take yuh weekends and put up a few sheds, get some running water (could be river water), organise some lights (cheap generator far away so its quiet)..

Maybe yuh might have something there.

If you build it - they will come.
I would be one of the first to come try out the track .

But it would definitrly benefit from more attractive pricing - say $150 per vehicle for half day, $200-$275 for whole day, but with unlimited access.

You don't even need to put running water - them men have trays - they could bring they own water. That's just unnecessary expense for you cuz now u have to pay for piping, supply, taxes, water meter, etc. Huts would be enough.

Best thing would be separate courses:
- motocross and all-terrain track for dirtbikes and possibly BMX
- 4x4 obstacle course for stock vehicles including small hills, suspension test, hill climb and power tests
- 4x4 obstacle course for advanced vehicles - muddy pits, large gorges to cross with crevases, log-obstacles to climb, maybe a rock-pit to climb over.


All you'd need is a few huts for a pit-area or for groups to rent, and maybe a small spectator area for events, and parking area, maybe a couple containers for head offices.

Oh yeah, don't forget a big, bright disclaimer board that says that everyone should practice safety, the park takes no responsibility or liability for any damage or injury to persons or vehicles, must have insurance and driver's permit, etc etc.

and toilets!

[speedaholic]

okay fellas how about this!??

[3stagevtec]

Look at the size of those tires! imagine the torque needed to turn those and the horsepower needed to keep them going through all that mud! V8 power in this case is a must!

and that is too much mud! will never finish clean vehicle after playing in that!

[3stagevtec]

Gotta like where they mount the brakes on those boggers...

4x4 sand drags.. now there's an idea!!! that might just level the playing field in here..

[speedaholic]

yeaaaa! thats what i was lookin @ mostly not so much the mud part!!! dat jes ridics!!! i likin the drags thing...

[altec]

find an old sand pit that's not in use

[lighthammer]

Morne Diablo trail was a lot like these videos - dry, and just like an obstacle course.

Hey guys it's Ironman here. I am back and will have the shop up next week in el Socorro boundry rd. That is the good news the better news is I have got the land and first set of approvals for a 4x4 off road park in central. I should have it running next year around march. If anyone want stuff I am taking preorders now.
