Dune Buggy Race Track

I proved myself last weekend.  Everyone said there wasn't enough space in the back yard, in Andrew, to make a buggy track.  Without even using all the available space I made a short oval track, and it was a lot of fun for everybody.  It was much like the Speeders Electric Kart track we have in Edmonton, only we don't have to pay $20 a piece to rip around on it for 6 laps.

The 250's are perfect, just nuff power to spin the back end around on the hair pin and get enough speed on the strait to be slamming the brakes on in terror as you come in to the corner too hot.  This is also really great, giving Michelle some twisties fish tailing experience, to help her deal with icy roads when she drives.  I pretty much yanked her off public transit, gave her keys and told her to drive in Alberta winters, and she has had some nasty experiences since then, without ever getting a second chance.  "well maybe if I turn into the skid I could regain control" She'll never know until today.

New skid steer should be here Friday.  You know the buggy track is getting a tunnel, jump, velodrome style hair pin wall, and what ever else we can come up with.  The original 632 bobcat is for sale cheep.  I just don't have time.  My winter fun time is over, booked solid for a week in advance.  There really is something to my favorite contractor that goes to Arizona from Nov to May.  It is unbelievable, like someone flipped a switch may first and filled my calendar.  I still did little stuff all winter but was worried if we winter down south my contractors would find another Electrician.  This winter that wouldn't have been the case.
