Title: NEW 300' SAND DRAG
Post by: jayman on July 15, 2010, 03:57:15 PM
That's right............

Dirty Foot Mud Ranch will be completing the drag strip late tomorrow.

The drag strip is 20' wide (10' per lane) and 1000' long.  The actual track is 300' long for racing, 400' long for shut down and another 300' long for those really fast bikes that need more than 400' to slow down.  It will be maintained daily.  There will be stakes dividing the lanes and identifiers for the start and end.  Currently they will not have a starting tree or scoring.......after the owners see some support to the facility he then will invest in one.

Along with the drag strip there is also 30 miles of dry, FLAT trail riding, a small mx track, an oval sand track, drag racing in the mud pits and a completely separate area to mud trucks.  The trucks WILL BE separate for the atv's no worries about getting ran over.

For more info please contact them at www.dirtyfootmudranch.com (http://www.dirtyfootmudranch.com)

My group will be out there the weekend of July 23-25.  We will have several 450's, 400's and 250's (all quads) and also some rzr's out on the drag strip...who else plans on coming out????

Would you consider it a good place to get some XC practice in or is fast trail riding frowned upon? Any rough and tight spots?

They have open (no trees) and not so open (trees everywhere) trails.  I would say some are slow and technical but not too many most can be ridden fast.  The owner plans on cutting in some more trails shortly but currently he has about 30 miles of trails.

A little disappointed I was looking forward to all them sand drag racers coming out.This is something I don't do that often and was looking to learn something.But I still had fun racing with the guy's that where there.Sorry I was so slow and kept getting beat by the really fast guy's but maybe I will get the hang of it. Our the guys that talk about racing all the time will come out next time, so I can get some pointers.
But if they come out I hope there fast cuz that LTR and YFZ with paddles where move'n out... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lots of action at the strip this weekend...hopefully the word will get out and then they can start up some events!!!!!!!!!

I wish I coulda made it there, you guys woulda seen a 400ex that beats your 450s.

We should try to get a group scheduled to go out there and just have fun, I could give you guys some good tips for drag racing.

But the tips are for purpose built atvs, you could switch it back and fourth from drag racing to mx or trails easily but it takes some wrenching.

If I went there I would be stricktly drag racing, cant switch mine up that quick...lol.

I did say I was trying to make it there for that weekend, but I got caught up working instead, Aug 6th sounds like it could be a  possible thing, it just sucks that its almost in tampa and Im in west palm beach...lol.

If I go it would more then likely only be for the day which kinda sucks, but its a long drive for me....lol.


Title: Re: NEW 300' SAND DRAG
Post by: GSXR1000 on July 26, 2010, 09:40:46 PM
It's about an hour and 15 for me.That feels like my back yard cause we usually drive 3 to 12 hrs to go riding.LOL
Hope you can make it. See if others wanna go so we can do a big race that would be cool...I have a 2 wheel drive Rancher 350 also that I want to race you with in the MUD DRAGS (lol).It wll be cool if you can make it look for us in the camp ground.


It's not almost in Tampa about 1hr 30min from Tampa .If you know where Bartow is it is south of there.

Actually it is about 1.5hrs south east of Tampa. You could just go across Hwy 70. You are probably about 2.5-3hrs away. Really not that bad if ya stay the night.
