    While my full size gridding up days are over, I just discovered this place https://bushnellmotorsportspark.com/ and, from the looks of things, I would love to pick up and try to not hurt myself too bad on a mini :crackup::D . So, anyone have any experience with it as the place looks amazing and is less than an hour from my house!!!
    Cheers!

    FYI, I have the crash record at Jennings but none of those 20+ crashes hurt me more than a particular XR 100 crash at Bushnell, just sayin...

    This guy has posted videos on here before and it's at the Bushnell motorsports park. Looks fun for a little bike.

    Yes! I picked up a Grom a couple months ago just to hit up Bushnell. That track is an hour away from me and it is so much fun! Almost every Sunday there are a few people that show up on various mini bikes and supermotos. For $46 for 4+ hours of open track time its well worth it. You show up at 8, the track is open to owner karts and bikes (if karts show up, then we alternate track time) until noon. At noon, their kart rental business opens, but if nobody is running their rental karts, then the track is still open for us to do laps. In a typical 4 hours, I barely go through a gallon of gas and I wear the front faster than the rear.

    I'll be there again this Sunday with my Grom to turn some laps.

    Really wish this place was closer.

    Are there any similar facilities to this on the east cost of Florida?

    I want an Ohvale so bad and Bushnell would be a perfect place to rip it around.

    the wheelbase and ride height of the ohvale makes it the ultimate at bushnell.

    come on out! although i am headed to california for the next 3 months , my dad and my buddies will still be out there plenty, that's for sure. if you see the slow loud aprilias you can guarantee that's us.

    Also, I believe Andersen down in Palmetto is now allowing mini bike track time on the weekends as well.

    I think for you the closest option may be PBIR go kart track, but I dont know how often they do track time.

    There is also Orlando Kart Center, but they only allow mini bikes for the SFL MiniGP races.

    Cool! I plan on heading over Sunday morning to scope the place out and see what the hot ticket is ;-) . If you see a middle age guy watching who can barely see over the fence, that'll be me...LOL!!!

    I'll be sure to say hi! Bushnell requires a pit pass to go into our pit area ($15+tax). I'm not sure how strict they will be with that if you just tell them you want to check the place out. The kid that runs the joint in the morning has always been pretty cool.

    Great meeting you as well! We had a pretty good turnout today as well even though some were in Orlando racing with SFL MiniGP.

    Hope to see you out there soon!

    I’m setting up both my Groms for Bushnell. Other than axle and bar sliders what else was required to get on track? Did you have to modify the factory foot pegs?

    Thanks.
