LoganFehr Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Just wondering what some opinions are on the best motocross track day rigs are. I might be looking into buying one with a couple of my highschool motocross buddies for track days and riding trips. Our budget is basically as low as possible for something that fits a driver, a few bikes (room for 4 bikes would be nice) and race day essentials without a trailer. I've been looking around at some vans like the Chevy Express and Ford E-series, as well as school buses. So far I think my best local find is a 1991 36 passenger school bus, V8 diesel, ~120,000 miles for just under $2000 (we would gut out all the seats except two front benches). I want to hear about everyone's rigs and suggestions! All input is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watch the bass Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Sounds like a good offer, 120000 mls for a Diesel is nothing. Quote "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

727Designs Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Around here you can buy an E150/E250 for dirty cheap. If you're just using it for a race rig mileage isn't a major concern, those things run forever anyway.

LoganFehr Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 id do the bus. fuck yeah. you could make an area in the back for the bikes and then an area in the front to kick it at. im not sure if you need a cdl or not though. That's what I was thinkin. As long as enough seats are removed and the remaining ones have lap belts, I think I wouldn't need a cdl. I'll look into that though. Not sure what our laws are on it. But yeah we'd strip the seats out and put in some anchors on the floor for tying bikes down, then maybe build some sort of shelving/storage compartments with scrap plywood. And of course a table and seating up front for hanging out which I could build at my school's shop for little to know money on my part. If I get a couple guys into this idea it'd only end up costing us each less than a grand, not too bad for a decent rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 and it would be the place to hang out when not racing. throw a cheap flat screen up paint it flat black. ive often thought about doing something silly with a short bus. It just takes me too long to roll shit with my work schedule and life. my wife would shit bricks if i brought home a short bus Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

LoganFehr Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Just checked my provincial driving laws and I can drive a bus with the license I have as long as I don't transport passengers, which is ok because we'd take another car anyways just in case we run into trouble with the bus haha. I called the guy today, he said it's still for sale and nobody has even gone to look at it yet. Probably going to go take a look at it on Friday and we'll go from there.
