Absolutely. And how's the wheelbase on the thing. It's a friggin' bus!

I did it, so why don't you, even if it involves a bit of a drive, there's nothing like track riding

The one downfall is, the dirt flies up into your eyes (goggles on) and you need to clean the chain after the racing.

I am with you mate, plenty of showgrounds for me (they can be fast)

One meet from memory (early 70's), raced a top pacer at the opening of
Byford Trotting Complex, here, plenty of dirt flying, and I out-raced the pacer,
winning over 1000m (sat in, and sprinted).
Russell Roberts sponsored me, so I did it as an exhibition.
It was a race and pretty fast at that.
Will stick up the photo at a later date.
