I do construction for a living. If you guys can do a soil cement base it would take place of the stone. And you could run the carts on the soil cement without asphalt and could always place asphalt at a later time on the soil cement base Also it would be ok after rain.
Quite right, it's something that most people would have done. If you can't afford it and own a lot of things, you can either sell or wait and save money. The last resort is bank loans. Begging for money is not something you do if you have any honor
Add two shipping containers in the middle of the track so you could ride over them and also pass underneath, in between them. It also would give you storage for tires, fuel, ect….

Have you ever considered doing cold milling. It is a process of using clean recycled asphalt millings and chemical adhesion that is then rolled like hot asphalt. Cut your costs down significantly. Clean asphalt millings in my area go for $17/ton. I’m surprised your friend Chip didn’t mention this process. Maybe reach out to Hawke Seal and see if they would be willing to help.
There is some truth to what you’re saying, anyone that hasn’t experienced having absolutely nothing not knowing where your next meal is coming from or knowing you can’t support your kids but your sending them 80% of your income. They can never understand what you mean, usually it’s self discipline, or substance abuse or mental health issues but regardless those feelings are significant the exact opposite of the good feelings these guys have when they are able to buy their first house or buy their parents a house. Life is 80% self work 20% opportunities obviously it Varys person to person but that’s my experience I’ve put in about 50% self work maybe less and pounced on about 7% of my opportunities 😂😂😂 I hope to one day correct it because these lows are horrid.
Option 3 has potential and you guys should build a bridge fly-over and have it loop back underneath, and you will have an area on bridge for signage and sponsor for all the big brands.
This is going to be bad ass!! Definitely need some spectator areas within the track. Incorporate a walk-over bridge or something. But of course it’s not my money lol
The big thing to consider is that if you make it wide enough for cars it can double as a Drift Track. You could even host events at your place and things like that.
So doing some quick math (i think my math is solid) : 2500ft track @ 20ft wide is = 50,000 sq ft ($150,000) so assume $3.00 per square foot 2000ft track @ 15 ft wide is = 30,000 sq ft ($90,000) 1500ft track @ 15 ft wide is = 22,000 sq ft ($67,500) So if you get a more accurate length and narrow the track a little its much more feasible.
I can operate heavy equipment and do electrical plumbing pretty much a jack of all trades . Went to collage for welding and fabrication got nothing to do and I'm going stir crazy I'm located in Bristol, TN
BRAD YOU AND YOUR DAD SEEM LIKE SOME REALLY COOL INDIVIDUALS I JUST STARTED WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL AND I REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING YOU GUYS BUILD THE MAN CAVE BAR NOW THAT IS A SICK BAR I'M NOT GONNA LIE NOW CHECKING OUT THE PREP FOR THE GO CART TRACK IS AWESOME JUST DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS BROTHER I WANNA SEE THIS THING COME TO LIFE ....... LET'S GO!!!!!! I'LL HELP I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA BUT IF YOU NEED ME I'M THERE YEAH YOU GUYS NEED SPONSORSHIP BIG TIME
Doing asphalt ain't cheap. You're gonna have to figure out a way to monetize this new track to pay for it. Maybe Cleetus can bring his live production crew up and do some Pay Per View races there to cover the costs of building it.
Why would cleetus give away money? What have they done to help Cleetus? Cleetus and project prime are busy, doing their own thing. If they want to be Cleet, let them figure it out on their own
I have always wanting to race. It would be a dream come true. It sounds like ur pops wants a track like Mario Carts. 😂😂😂.I understand its only gocarts but when ur on those things ur inner most childish ways comes out and u end up having a blast. And right now i sure could use some of that excitement. But other than that i love yalls ideas. Me and my mom growing up ive always told her if i would get rich somehow we would make something like this for all the kids in the area for something to do besides get into trouble or what not. Awesome work guys thats for sure. Much love to yall from Maryland❤❤❤.
Good luck guys, keen to see what you come up with…I’ve built myself a dirt track on my farm down here in South Australia,one man,one tractor,it’s a lot of work but well worth it to drive kart out of my shed straight into cutting laps! Option 3 Millers track,with undulations gets my vote ✅
Layout the whole track like what u want the end result to be. Then break it into sections to build over time. Then u have a uniformed idea from the start and it won’t look like u just added on to add on. Make connectors where u stop, then once the whole track is done, u can have different layouts depending on what kind of race y’all want to run
I would love to come race with Y'all. I raced desert (bikes) including Baja in the 90's-2000's. i have been a motion picture stunt driver/camera car driver for 24 years! I don't care which track, but a mix of dirt and paved would be AWESOME! The Grand Prix format ( A Day in the Dirt, Elsinore, Catalina...etc) is SUPER fin and will test ALL your drivers' skills! Mahalo
Exactly what your dad just said. Make a smaller track that you can expand. make it the right width and make everything proper but shorter. Then, in the future, you can expand it to the full track you wanted.
I love how pops is so interested in cow pattys he mentioned it whenever talking about the race . pops I haven't seen a sick air guitar solo in a minute we need one from the master!
I want to race but I’m in Australia so I’ve got everything crossed I get picked to experience the adventures over there I would stay for 2 more weeks would have to after playing Mario brothers 😂😂❤❤
I'm down to fly in and race. I like Doug's track with the addition of shipping containers as someone suggested earlier. I'd also say keep it a dirt track. Maybe just do a burm on the lot to guide the water around the track and down the hill. Keeping it dirt track will level the playing field from the pro drivers to youtubers that can drive.
You need to dig a long trench at the edge of your slab put In Weeping tile about 8 ft down and fill it back in with crush rock. Have the weeping slope down to the low end and you won’t have to worry about drainage.
Take the small *3/4" to dust* crushed concrete pack it and add a tar topping like they used to do years ago on the backroads in the country. Also you could add bags of concrete to the top and rake it in wet it down, since your not going to be driving big cars on it.
The two of you have the power of social media and a large network. I'm not sure why y'all are balking at $150K. You have to realize the future ROI this return. Just the new subscribers, channel content and sponsors would be enough to make this a worth while venture. Get'r done gents!
There is a track in Odessa TX called Rimrock Raceway. The owner there made the track worth extra paved connectors between some corners and extra sections so the track can be reconfigured a half dozen ways or more. Every week, he runs a different configuration and also switches directions from clockwise to counter clockwise. It's a little more money up front, but you can create a much better long term experience. They also run league night races every Thursday. Also, as someone who traveled the country to work and has raced rental karts at a couple dozen outdoor and indoor tracks, I would like to come out and run with you guys and participate in an event sometime.
You say you need help but I'm not a licensed therapist! In the meantime when you are angry, just walk away from each other and come back when you have cooled off with a fresh mind set! Yes I would love to race with you guys! Remember that racecar forward is racecar backwards but racecar upside down is expensive!
Guys. To raise the funds, do a build give away truck simple. As far as the racing goes, do a 12 hour race, 4 drivers per kart. I raced karts in Aus, and the endurance series was the coolest race to compete in. It's a real team event, the karts are fast enough to have fun, and the Honda motors will do the job. With 4 drivers, this will expand your driver selection to 134 drivers rather than just 34. A 12 hour race will also involve pit stop manditory tyre change, which the team must do on their own with manual tools except the refueling. For refueling this is a mandatory 2 min stop for all competitors, so it evens the field out. For this style kart it's the best format and the most fun.
Keep your dream alive you guys are creative i have faith you will conquer this track. I wish i still lived in SC moved to OK i would definitely be in to help i like #3
we had a clay track with banks and it holds up pretty good. live in buffalo NY. have a tractor to fix bad spots that may occur from rain but it shouldn’t ruin the entire track when it rains. ur banks will get screwed up some from water running down them but quick run with the tractor and ur set.
You could do it in sections as you have the funding maybe start out with a oval then eventually come off with another section and then eventually another have it to where each one can be shut back down or cones put up or whatever and you can make different races a diverse track in the end. A basic oval to start then on to other parts just think about it just trying to help get you up and going faster brother.
I totally understand your frustration I had a go cart business for 6 years and the fires in California hit I lost everything in one day. It sucks to lose your home, income and business. I get your frustration... Gentlemen I would stay away from asphalt you will smoke tires to no end ...
3. Do a t-shirt, hoodie, cap drop to raise some cash you got plenty of subs. Gotta think outside the box to get that cash raised, we always wanted to build a drift track in UK cos there's no good tracks that allow drifting unless it's for competition or at a show. Just impossible here with land price's, planning, noise regs etc etc and that's before you've even started on the track.
I want to drive! Just something to think about when designing a track is what the top speed of my carts are and how long does it take to achieve that speed. This will help with distance between curves and length of straights. I do agree terrain changes in height and banks is a must. Maybe a part that goes underground.
Love go-cart racing!! OK they have a cool track in West Palm Bch, FL. They bought one of those US Steel metal buildings . Then they bought some of those commercial building heavy duty storage racks and a small size, light duty forklift. Keep your pallets and nail a 1/2 sheet of 1/4 plywood on top of each pallet and paint it. Then place your cart back on top of them and store them on the metal storage rack . 10 wide X 5 high. Because there's good money in storing people's carts also for the ones that don't have a trailer or room in their garage. 💡💡😀👍.. The buildings are very affordable. They come and install the metal frame one day and metal roof, siding, and nice rollup Doors the next day. They will send you the blueprint on the size of the concrete slab and where to install J bolts needed to set, and secure beams to concrete. You have to pour concrete to their specs and set bolts into wet concrete to their specs also. They do the rest. They are awesome buildings for what you need. You can design to have doors wherever you like.
You definitely need to get some cement blocks to build a over pass. .Maybe up a hill across the over pass down hill eventually passing under the overpass You can thank me papa kenny later
Also to save on the amount of pavement needed, make the front stretch of the track on your existing concrete pad. Have blocks of you move into position to form a wall between the stands and the track. Also paved driveway is 2" pavement thickness, so not sure why you need 4" of pavement.
Still love seeing all of the content. Loved seeing the Truck when you had it at LS fest East. As an IRacer still trying to grow his CZcams channel, this would be great to show my real skills with you guys. Also just tossing this idea out there. Half the track be dirt and the other half could be paved.
Do a mix of Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca!!! I am a pretty damn fine Dozer operator with 20+ years of experience from building roads to bridge work and commercial building prep.
Have you considered a chemical called soil tech ? It hardens the clay so it doesn’t wash away. They use it a lot at bmx tracks, but not sure how it would hold up with go carts.
Love the idea. First thing first your going to need to figure out elevations an drainage. I guessing to can get dirt onsite so that will help with cost. But your going to need a way to haul it from pit to site an a way to load it at the pit. Get your design built with dirt first a while your in the that process your can figure out funding for the next phase. I’m an equipment operator so you ever need help with operating track hoe dozer dump trucks would be glad to help on the weekends. I’m only a couple hrs away in SC. Hope y’all’s dreams come true love to see yall in action. Take care.
Asfault is cheep. Just rent the equipment and lay the tract yourself with asphalt. Get all of your buddies together and DIY. I would like to see a bridge or two in the course. Make it the best tract in the nation.
It would be cool if you picked up a couple motocross bikes and investigate possible track layout on them. It’s good content, good fun and quick way to see if you like the potential track plan.
Maybe put down some crush then clay on top, at least the base wouldn't erode as much from rain and make it easier to repair? Take care Brad and Dad and God bless👍💙😇
Cooper River Dragstrip had a dirt return road. They priced asphalt and paving. Priced Concrete. The concert was the cheaper route. Good luck with your project. Keep up the CZcamsing.
This is super easy to figure out. You need 100k for the track right so you presale 1000 tickets to the first race weekend for $100 each. Once you have your 1000 entries covered you have your 100k dollars. In the meantime source some prizes and food venders. Good luck let me know when I can plop down my 100.
I like the blue one ive raced on one similar any of them look fun tho. Battle of the Brads would be a fun race !!! But you guys will figure out a way to get it done racing is a passion...
This track could be huge like the freedom factory I guarantee it will make its money back I just live about an hour from these guys I would like to have a job with these guys they do some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen with cars and art
Time to step up your merch game. Make money from a special edition shirt. Plus there has to be fans with equipment willing to help. I am a commercial project superintendent from Buildings to civil road work. Most definitely invest in drainage pipes to allow water to pass the high areas under the track. Also take into account ground stabilization at least 20’ in all directions around the track. There will be a lot of water coming off that track and taking the path of least resistance. Asphalt is the way to go. You may be able to get away with 1.75” of asphalt with the correct prep work. Especially if it’s for go karts only. I recommend getting I civil engineer the review before starting any work. Big risks can bring big rewards. Wish you all the best of luck. 🍻🇺🇸 looking forward to what ever you all decide.
I wish you guys would incorporate a circle track into you road course would be cool then you have both. Just like the Roval at charlotte. Road course built into the circle track. Best of both worlds
Who wants to race?? Pick which track layout you like best???
I’m in sc I will help in any way I can I lay asphalt for a living
blue all day everyday
I do construction for a living. If you guys can do a soil cement base it would take place of the stone. And you could run the carts on the soil cement without asphalt and could always place asphalt at a later time on the soil cement base Also it would be ok after rain.
Pick me please can I bring my own go kart too lol 😂
I would love to race with you guys it would be a honor and a privilege and I run equipment and have commercial drivers license
15:56 sell one of your boats or one of your cars or trucks and you got this covered.
Quite right, it's something that most people would have done. If you can't afford it and own a lot of things, you can either sell or wait and save money. The last resort is bank loans. Begging for money is not something you do if you have any honor
Add two shipping containers in the middle of the track so you could ride over them and also pass underneath, in between them. It also would give you storage for tires, fuel, ect….
Seam weld then a fish plate on both top and bottom seams. I like it! Plus two together, that's what? 12ft across? makes a hell of a bottle neck.

Would love to help and of course race!
I live in Mooresville and I have a skidsteer, mini skidsteers, dump trailer and dump truck.
Most important thing is to get your drainage situated before you have a damaged track.
We "Chip & Seal" a lot of our country roads in Oklahoma...
Add a slight crown to center of road for drainage and we run all kinds of vehicles over them!
Chip & Seal is for car traffic, it will destroy go-cart tires. Go-cart tires require a very smooth surface to race on.
Have you ever considered doing cold milling. It is a process of using clean recycled asphalt millings and chemical adhesion that is then rolled like hot asphalt. Cut your costs down significantly. Clean asphalt millings in my area go for $17/ton. I’m surprised your friend Chip didn’t mention this process. Maybe reach out to Hawke Seal and see if they would be willing to help.
Cold millings will not work for go-carts, the surface is too ruff.
Millings are great. There's always companies doing road work. I wish they were 17 near me almost double that in ct
This is what money freedom and no enemies looks like.. pure happiness
@@CaseohsBackflapp anything in life is work bud, it’s not money happiness and freedom. It’s a crap ton of work and dedication. Huge difference

Doug's track has more drivers' skills and more technical skills. So I choose Doug's number one.
Should get a sponsorship from a company that does construction of asphalt.
Option 3 has potential and you guys should build a bridge fly-over and have it loop back underneath, and you will have an area on bridge for signage and sponsor for all the big brands.
This is going to be bad ass!! Definitely need some spectator areas within the track. Incorporate a walk-over bridge or something. But of course it’s not my money lol
Your dad talking about throwing cow patties on the track he's been playing to much Mario kart his version on banana peels 😂😂😂😂
I want to race and bring my sons!! Love you guys and this is a dream. Would love to be able to do the same thing!!
Option 3 for sure looks like a race track! Laps at DeBerti Ranch 😃
The 3rd is the best with a above level loop around and a underground tunnel🔥🔥 go big😂
I like option 3 as it's a brand I say, go with it.And I love watching your youtube videos
I DEFINITELY WANNA RACE THEM GO CART THAT'S GOING TO BE SO EPIC THIS HAS GOT TO COME TO REAL LIFE

25:45 I like the idea of adding on. That will help keep cost down initially and you can extend the track as funds permit.
3 for sure no doubt about it
Get a drone that can scan the surface, get a perfect topology, and send the CAD model to as many designers as will draw it in 3d.
Do some dirt and some asphalt. If the dirt sections not available you’d still have the asphalt to race on. GL
Gotta have some banked turns

You have to pour concrete to their specs and set bolts into wet concrete to their specs also. They do the rest. They are awesome buildings for what you need. You can design to have doors wherever you like.
I'm with Doug do a little at a time. Do half in dirt and the other in pavement. That would be cool.
You definitely need to get some cement blocks to build a over pass. .Maybe up a hill across the over pass down hill eventually passing under the overpass
You can thank me papa kenny later
You could do it you’re the DeBerti. You’re amazing.
I would love to race go carts with you guys! Looks like a blast!
Also to save on the amount of pavement needed, make the front stretch of the track on your existing concrete pad. Have blocks of you move into position to form a wall between the stands and the track. Also paved driveway is 2" pavement thickness, so not sure why you need 4" of pavement.
I know the difference between a Phillips head and a flat head screwdriver, I can help 😎 you should definitely go with a figure 8 demo derby track
Stay positive brad belive and you will achieve
I'll get a plane to America to meet U guys an race love channel an farther son relationship is something I never ad all love guys ❤
I'm in I can run equipment or anything that needs to be done. Obviously I love go cart racing!
Still love seeing all of the content. Loved seeing the Truck when you had it at LS fest East. As an IRacer still trying to grow his CZcams channel, this would be great to show my real skills with you guys. Also just tossing this idea out there. Half the track be dirt and the other half could be paved.
option 3 with some sort of overpass or bridge
Do a mix of Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca!!! I am a pretty damn fine Dozer operator with 20+ years of experience from building roads to bridge work and commercial building prep.
I truly wish I could be there to help and would love to race on any thing you guys make
Make it something you'll be able to drift on as well!!
Do a rock surface vibrate soil tac Into it and then mix limestone and soil tac and coat the top it’s what we do for our bmx tracks
Have you considered a chemical called soil tech ? It hardens the clay so it doesn’t wash away. They use it a lot at bmx tracks, but not sure how it would hold up with go carts.
Love the idea. First thing first your going to need to figure out elevations an drainage. I guessing to can get dirt onsite so that will help with cost. But your going to need a way to haul it from pit to site an a way to load it at the pit. Get your design built with dirt first a while your in the that process your can figure out funding for the next phase. I’m an equipment operator so you ever need help with operating track hoe dozer dump trucks would be glad to help on the weekends. I’m only a couple hrs away in SC. Hope y’all’s dreams come true love to see yall in action. Take care.
Sorry auto correct killing me.
Asfault is cheep. Just rent the equipment and lay the tract yourself with asphalt. Get all of your buddies together and DIY. I would like to see a bridge or two in the course. Make it the best tract in the nation.
It would be cool if you picked up a couple motocross bikes and investigate possible track layout on them. It’s good content, good fun and quick way to see if you like the potential track plan.
Have the best of both worlds make it 50/50 DIRT PAVEMENT great equalizer and lots fun Carlsbad raceway back in the 80s 90s
Road America in Elkhart, WI has the perfect go kart track as a reference. Good amount of turns. Wide enough track and includes good elevation.
Millers, for sure!!
Millers is the best one and I would come race but you do not want to lose😁
I feel like you guys should get in touch with the guys that do the work for cleetus at the freedom factory maybe
Man I’d love to get in on this race! Would be sweet!
I’ve been a DeBerti fan since the oldschool billet/Trenz stuff🤘🏼🤘🏼
Maybe put down some crush then clay on top, at least the base wouldn't erode as much from rain and make it easier to repair? Take care Brad and Dad and God bless👍💙😇
Would love to Race and I’d love to help with the track! Love your vids!
I would say the three pic was the best I think
U can use asphalt grinding and roll it out. It will pack down and harden up and it's way cheaper
Cooper River Dragstrip had a dirt return road. They priced asphalt and paving. Priced Concrete. The concert was the cheaper route. Good luck with your project. Keep up the CZcamsing.
This is super easy to figure out. You need 100k for the track right so you presale 1000 tickets to the first race weekend for $100 each. Once you have your 1000 entries covered you have your 100k dollars. In the meantime source some prizes and food venders. Good luck let me know when I can plop down my 100.
I like the blue one ive raced on one similar any of them look fun tho. Battle of the Brads would be a fun race !!! But you guys will figure out a way to get it done racing is a passion...
I would love to race, I am about your pops age so he will have some company. Looks like a blast.
This track could be huge like the freedom factory I guarantee it will make its money back I just live about an hour from these guys I would like to have a job with these guys they do some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen with cars and art
Time to step up your merch game. Make money from a special edition shirt. Plus there has to be fans with equipment willing to help. I am a commercial project superintendent from Buildings to civil road work. Most definitely invest in drainage pipes to allow water to pass the high areas under the track. Also take into account ground stabilization at least 20’ in all directions around the track. There will be a lot of water coming off that track and taking the path of least resistance. Asphalt is the way to go.
You may be able to get away with 1.75” of asphalt with the correct prep work. Especially if it’s for go karts only. I recommend getting I civil engineer the review before starting any work. Big risks can bring big rewards. Wish you all the best of luck. 🍻🇺🇸 looking forward to what ever you all decide.
I wish you guys would incorporate a circle track into you road course would be cool then you have both. Just like the Roval at charlotte. Road course built into the circle track. Best of both worlds
I would love to come out there and race. I grew up racing karts and always loved it
