[QUOTE="ChopTop84, post: 1363272, member: 19210"] Its doable. I used to be part of a club down in new orleans that ran what was basically "their own" atv park. Technically, it was gov't land, and the army corp had finally say, but we had grant money to rent dozers and then used volunteer labor to create/maintain trails. There were signs posted that the place was a "use at your own risk" park, and while there was the occasional accident, the most they could do was come after the club, not the individuals in the club, but that never happened. I believe there used to be a mud run in Orting once a year that someone put on in their own field. I want to say it was the "oh my god, the salmon!" groups that got it shut down, not the "someone is gonna get sued" lawyers. Or maybe the city made him get a business permit and then denied the permit or something, I cant remember, it just sucked. Google HighLifter park in east texas. That was just opening up as I was moving away from the area, but I still get the occasional event flyer from them and they are getting pretty big as a private offroad park now. I think they might even be doing full size rigs now, and not just 4x4 quads and utes. There is also a privately owned sand drag track down in SW WA, but again, the local city rulemakers are trying to close them down, not the "someone is gonna get hurt" groups. If a guy could score 20 or 30 acres (or more obviously), maybe a retired quarry, and managed to show the local city officials that it will bring money into their town, post a few "use at your own risk" signs, and the EPA doesnt get all over your case, then its absolutely doable.
