Track preparation and Friday night racing 

How awesome is this! So jealous!

Your track prep worked out incredible.

Looks like a lot of fun 👍😃

Those 110s are handy little machines and the backhoe works so much better than just a pto one.. Track looks good thanks for sharing !!

Now that's the way to spend a Friday and Friday night! Very cool to see the "work hard, play hard" guys running neck and neck and having a great time. I bet the trifecta and you pulled it off, Mike! Very nice job on the track prep, video, and the sound work. 2 thumbs up from here! Drove it like ya stole it, NICE Doug@ the "ranch"

Watching your vlogs is like attending a construction vocational school. I'm sure there's hundreds of younguns watching learning to get into your profession. Just as it should be, one generation passing on their knowledge to the next.

I really wish we had some tracks like that over this side of the pond ! All much bigger, and tarmac-no good for beginners !!

Brought back memories when I was a kid....a long time ago.

That was great to have a race track so available!

Watch you and MBTS everyday💪

Ha ha I ran that fuel in my 1970 Cadillac deville. But I didnt make it fly but it should have. Lol lol. Heart video and that track looked great and fun.

Nice set up. You know what your doing for sure.

Fun! Those double-V scraper things are super handy. Got a mini one myself. A guy near me builds and sells them and sometimes he welds flat across the back V on the bottom to make kind of a cutting edge on it. Works pretty slick. Then he puts places to hang suitcase weights on them too. Looks like a nice track! Thanks for sharing!

Nice !! bring more of the go kart track to videos! I race go karts I'd make the 3 hour drive to come run with y'all! Just started following you this summer ..

wow that's awesome banking on there. We had trouble with that part on ours a few years back, but it was still a lot of fun and we had limited equipment anyways. We made one about 2/3 the size of this. Your track is very well made and I wish I could run it.

That's perfect dirt!

We had a dirt track out here it was a lot of fun and work, I get the track ready and then have to work on my go-kart or somebody else's. Great video Stay safe Dwayne

That’s cool we built 3 tracks here locally in 3 different back yards. Now we have 15-20 flat karts traveling the “circuit “ every week. All 3 tracks are different, makes it exciting. Good job on the track.

Now get Jason and the crew out there and officer Hoover too. That would be classic

That's Awesome I wish my son and I could race you guys!!! 🏁🏁🏁

Nice job getting the track in shape. You have a pretty nice looking track setup.

You know how to have fun👍

That look like fun

How cool is that best way to have fun is to improvise what you enjoy. Thanks for the video! Oh your skid steer hunt I just by accident am going to demo a used one next week with a trencher on it I'll pass on my opinion!!!

That looks like a blast!! I want to race next time we’re out!

awesome awesome

Yup, you REALLY do like playing in the DIRT. Maybe a build for a swamp buggy or a tractor pull would be a cool vid? Big boys must have big toys. Enjoyed the show. Play HARD!!! ;)

That's awesome beings back memories I used to race go-carts then my job end up taking me out of town so I had to quit racing if they would have stayed racing on Friday nights I could have still been racing but they moved to Saturday night didn't get home till 1 or 2 in the morning I'd have to leave Sunday afternoon it made it hard to stay awake driving to work so I had to quit one of them

Looks like a blast! Those motors doing healthy!! My Son runs an A modified !! Kinda of an expensive hobby, we only run it when we’re not busy on the farm!!!

Ready to move and enjoy this fun

That is soo cool, gotta get the speedway bike or quads out in it one time matey

Awesome! We have a track we run on sundays. Just for fun/bragging rights. We’re about 30 miles south of Indy if your ever up for a trip!

Nice track Sir from another go kart racer in North Georgia

I raced karts for years absolutely loved it we ran flat heads when I quit they where just transitioning into a clone motor (blue motor or predator) I was always a Briggs guy we did run the animal engine Wich is an ohv Briggs and I had a big block Briggs Wich was 10hp block that made around 58-60 hp on a flat cart with no cage it was way more than you needed I built it solely for outlaw class ran alot of places beachnut, lil indy , I-35, junction City,clay city I have 285 or so feature wins 6 track championship wins and lots of heat wins if you ever have any questions feel free to ask my dad is one of the best set up guys in my area haven't raced since 2010 and they still ask him to set karts up

thats a great attachment,, never seen one here, i gotta build one for the front of my 25hp lawn tractor, and built it to hook tho the H frame for the snow blower head, and hook up a big pump to one of the pto shafts, one in front, one in center and one at the back, that hardest part to find tho is a female spline that fits the pot shaft, it is a 1-1/8" shaft with really fine spline, the coupler for hooking up the drive shaft for the snow blower and mower deck it so big and bulky, with a 3" pull back collar to lock on, but for a pump, just need a plain coupling witth pto spline on one end and a 1/2" round w/ way for the pump, slip on slip off, i have all kinds of diferent size and RPm hydrolic motors kicking around from when i worked in the bush and they stripped down the old short wood koring harvesters and we build de-limbers, truck log loaders out of them, dam cabs were 18 feet off the ground, that power rake would be a snap to build, never seen on at any equipment dealer here, that works great, that must have also what was on the skid steer when i said it was going so fast you couldnt see the bucket, and you said it was a power rake... this is what you was talking about, but one that fits skid steer.. i can look at something and have a snap shot in my head and build it..

one would get dessy going around and around on a short track, you need to make a bigger figger 8 track like they have here for go carts,, you need some big bales of straw on them corners, going of into that bush and smakin a big tree would feel really good

You need to submit that pipe repair to Popular Mechanics home made and handy.

That’s a awesome track 👍 I didn’t know you could take the backhoe end off the 110 and put attachments on it I thought it was permanently on the back dirt perfect do you have a video of taking on or off the backhoe attachment? Curious to know the process

Indiana plumber, it worked👍

Now I had a MC track I built for my Kids ...this track Id say Don go tear it up for a while ...it be soft as the beach in 5 minutes

Aviation fuel is some awesome stuff. We used to run it in a late model. Switch that puppy over too Methanol Alcohol???... hahahaha!!.

a tip for you put lysol in your water about 1 gal to a 1000 gallons of water , also when u run your track in pack it in the opposite the way u race on it will give u a smoother track to protect your bottom end as u say it.

We may just take our summer vacation to Derby: go kart racing, giant water slide, earthworm throwing 😂

Not that it isn’t working for you , but did you ever consider a ram pump for your watering needs .They are awesome for water delivery ! That is a great little track . Thanks Mike

How the hell have I missed this for 3 years?!

My dad and his buddies raced midgets with motorcycle engines in them when I was a kid. He owned a sporting goods store and gas station in Pennsylvania.

Big fan Dirt Perfect. Watched the video a couple times cause I’m thinking about building something similar on our family property in western Wisconsin. Quick question though, could you tell me more about your compacting roller that you towed behind that smaller tractor. Did you buy that or was it another one of your builds?

Cool stuff. You better be king of the track at your home track👍Where all have you raced? My exwifes cousin Jacob McCormick from Illinois has a you tube channel of him racing at bi state track and ben hur. He's pretty good. When he was a young teen He'd smoke everyone in his age class so he petitioned to race up. He held is own against the adults.

That was cool i say when the busy season stops you get the whole gang up there for a race @letsdig18 @S.O.T. Metalworks @eliteearthworks @jasonworksalot

Next time the jokers are in town, we need to see a race. But an end to the all the trash talking.

What implement are you using on the back of your tractor, at the start of the video when you are getting the track smoothed out? I'm building a 754ft 1/7 a mile dirt track on the back side of my farm, and would love to get my track as smooth as yours! What tips can you give me for building banking in the turns? Thank you!

Can you run stagger on the rear tires ? Looks like the fast way around the track is on the outside, keep her on the cam.

Looks like a lil burg.lol

I thought I saw some kart tires on the shelf in a previous video

i thought that was an RC track.. like we have in town, i built the same kind of watering system for mixing calcium in water to put on mt 2800 feet of drive way to stop the dust, i built the tank with a hopper on top so i can dump 50Lb bags of calcium into the tank as the pump is blasting water in, them i want a 1/2" air hose in the tank for half hour to mix it up

What size is the track ? How wide is it?

Will that airplane has work in a 49cc 2stroke engine?ALSO What's the octane % in the airplane gas?

cool. how often are your kids pestering you to drive. a couple of kiddie carts would be cool.

how big is this dirt track. a quarter mile or so to get around it?

👍👍👍👍🙏🙏❗

Looks like a good time for sure! Is it just me or is your water trailer needing bearing covers?

How much dirt and clay did you end up using? For the whole track making it.

how many acres of land is it in total

It looks like only the top 5 go to the A main.

go-kart racing

How many degrees is your banking of your other corners

Now I know this is where you and Wade meet up?

i thought it was your kids racing.did logger wade race

What are the dimensions of the racetrack

Where is this? Tracks have all shut down in my area.

Oh, and why 4 stroke? Any reason for it or just for the hell of it?

Next time can you put a camera on the cart.

Just wondering does your thumb sometimes cover up the mike? Just wondering.

Logger Wade hasn't got him a cart? Need to try lawnmower racing

Location? There’s a few here in northeast Ohio

Boy you don't want to go off the top in 4.

I do see the fun in this but why don't you run with dirt tires?

How come you don't let the go karts pack in the track

Track is a circle???

What is the song that is on here

Who was you racing, if your racing kids that doesn't count lol

you are having to much fun how about drone footage of race to make sure you are not cheating play hard work harder to play hard

What's the size of the track?

You need to do some balancing with your volume. I am out of here.

one would get dessy going around and around on a short track, you need to make a bigger figger 8 track like they have here for go carts,, you need some big bales of straw on them corners, going of into that bush and smakin a big tree would feel really good
