The track is in a big gravel pit first left past spencer road going towards malahat.
You have to go off the road a ways, you cant really see it from the pavement. The guys put a lot of work into it, building berms and jumps.
There must have been 10-15 trucks out there Sunday, we had a blast.

Im not sure of the road name, but from the look of this map it would be  Amy Rd.

Thats right kirk....you used to not have to 4 wheel to far but then they put in curbs..its not that bad though. The track does need a better "drivers stand"

There will be real off road racing in parksville with timing and everything soon...

Any electric 2wd buggies there?  I'd run that if there were enough.

I have seen one or two, they dont get run on the track, tho, the Bajas and monsters would mess them up.
We brought out our electric buggy once and broke it twice on the track.

Sounds like Nicola must have found Kurks computer still logged in and posted. Grinder wouldt dare say such a thing about Nitro.

I dunno Haddow.... I'm pretty sure I saw Kurk getting out of this vehicle a few days ago and managed to snap this shot:
