here is the website that we are working on. I think we are going to pay for one soon, because we can't do a lot of things with the free one. it still needs a lot of work.
our website

wildchild, thanks for the reply, it is always nice to hear it again. I am only able to get into tapped 3rd gear. That works pretty good, so 4th should be even better. Just keep on the gas and never let off. If you let off, your front tires will sink and you might get tossed over the bars. Just keep your arms ready for a sudden stop, stay on the gas, and sit on the rear end. I hope you make it,

p.s. if you are using sand tires then your back end will want to keep going when your front starts to sink and this will cause you to go sideways. if you stay on the gas, this shouldn't be a problem.
