backyard hill climb a drift track (4 the kids of course) - Page 2

You get my vote for dad of the year. I grew up on a farm and had a mini as a paddock basher. Made my own little track in one of the old man's paddocks, wasn't bathurst but I loved it. A couple of close calls and went through a couple of the old man's fences which he wasn't happy about. Do want you can to make things safer for the kids, you here too many stories about things going wrong. Harness sounds a good start.

What I would give to have lived on a property like this when I was a kid.

That was my dream as a kid.
If I had a property I would do something like that.
Have a few mates over and race around an open paddock.
Unfortunately I like living in the city.

someone's a terrible camera man!
we lived on a small acerage, but my old man wouldn't let me have a vehicle to bash. then again, we could barely afford to keep the family wagon on the road.

when i was a kid we had an old mitsubishi colt and a ford meteor and my favourite the hk sedan 3 on the tree with a big rust hole on the passenger side floor and bench seat so you would go flying around lol was the best fun then we made some moto tracks and like a 60 foot table top that was heaps of fun. now im having a boy of my own and cant wait to move from the gold coast out to some acreage somewhere and do the same for my kids well done mate love it.

lucky you dont have boys because all us young ruff nuts would try and roll the colt on purpose lol 13 yr old kids haha
