    I found this go kart track 20km south of xi'an, after a little negotiating i got my bike in for 50 kuai for a half day. The setting is beautiful, right at the base of the Qinling mountains.



    It's a bit too small for a real bike, i don't think i'd bother with anything bigger than my 250. It's all 2nd and 3rd gear. The layout is a bit weird too as the track has an intersection! I've never seen any go karts racing on it so i'm not sure what they do about it.



    My little Molly is holding up well.



    This kid took his 2-stroke go kart out during my last run and then proceeded to humiliate me by lapping twice as fast.





    I finally managed to lose the chicken strips.



    And on the way home a quick roadside pit stop to stock up on fresh buds, hehe!

    Seems like a fair price for the track and weed

    We go to our track quite oftern but we have to take the bikes in a van which sucks, so we started building this to keep at the track.. bad move but it's fun.

    Budget track bike in china.

    Thanks for the heads up Rich, great thread!

    I'm using the tyres that come stock on the YBR250, made by Zhengxin. I like the profile but they're not amazing for grip. I rate them about the same as the Kenda ones that come with the XTR250. But for 480 kuai a set you can't really fault them.
