So the wife wants to take a mini vaca to Folsom which is great news for me because I can get my dirt fix! There is something about getting the raptor on the dirt that makes me get a high. I'll be at Prairie City around 9 or 10am at the latest and leave give or take around 2pm depending on how the course is and if anyone else shows up. There are BBQ grills there so I plan to have lunch there. The 5-6 times I have been there it is raptor friendly. You just need to pre-run your lines so you know where you can get speed. This is a great spot for beginners to test out their trucks. It's wide open and you can see what is coming. When the wife got sick of riding in the truck I was able to drop her off in the grandstand and she could read her book and still watch me. Maybe if Plots comes he can take some better pictures then phone pics.

There is two other events going on at the park if your family comes with you and wants something else to look at (June 1-2 Kart Track - All-Star Karting * and Quarter Midget Track - AQMA Race 2 & 3 Home - American Quarter Midget Association.

"Prairie City is situated at the base of the Sierra Nevada foothills, 20 miles east of downtown Sacramento and three miles south of U.S. 50. The area offers off-highway vehicle enthusiasts a variety of interesting terrain and trails for motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and 4-wheel drive vehicles. There are flat, open grasslands, rolling hills with native blue oak trees, and acres of cobbled mine tailings left after gold dredges combed ancient river beds in search of gold during the late 1800s. Beginners as well as experts find the variety of terrain both challenging and enjoyable.

The 4 x 4 area is open to 4 x 4's, buggies, Pilots, and Odysseys. For safety reasons, motorcycles and ATVs are not permitted to use this area.The 4 x 4 area is a haven for 4-wheel drive enthusiasts that love our mud. We have a very heavy clay that is extremely challenging for our mud enthusiasts. Just remember, if you get stuck, you are responsible for getting yourself out.

In addition, we have constructed obstacles in the 4-wheel drive obstacle course. We now have the Stairsteps, Frametwister, Mini-Rubicon, Mud Pit, Gravel Pit, and Dry River Bed. The obstacles range from very easy to extremely difficult. Be careful, as it is very easy to damage your vehicle.

The staging area is set up for both parking and picnicking. There are shaded picnic sites spaced throughout the area. Restrooms, drinking water, barbecue grills, and fire pits (bring your own wood) are available."

There is a Rally X Event May 25th here. This means there will be a great track set up and for the most part still up a week after when I'll be there.

Nice to see we should have a good turn out. Even if someone doesn't want to take their truck through the dirt stopping by would still be cool.

here is my GoPro video from last years dirt season. I left out the mud videos being there shouldn't be much of any.
