    that being said, ive been thinking along similar lines for something for my daughter to run. i want her to be a competent autocrosser before shes allowed to get her license/drivers ed. scca in my area allows them to start running carts at 7 or 8.

    one of these could be used on the orv trails at the uwharries, autox ride for her, and drive to work (8 blocks) ride for me. a jackof all trades i want. no need to master.

    any of the offerings seem more suited to the all purposenees than any others?

    The SCCA is very specific about what carts FJ (Kids) can run and the above carts are not legal.

    It can be. Needs fenders and a few other things. Can also be registered as special use, which would curtail driving on roads to a certain extent.

    I'd think the euro Rallycross buggies would be right up this alley, they race on dirt by design,

    And I can just picture one rolling for minutes after hitting one bump in a corner.

    Rallycross isn't racing, going faster is usually bad for times. (Hey, it only took me SEVEN YEARS to learn that) And it's not uncommon for people to side-hit things hard enough to debead rally tires or even break rally wheels when they're playing Captain Overdrive, only the low CG/wide track of car-ness keeps them from going over.

    I've seen street-registered sand rails before, in Ohio.

    Well, hell, if you can have a T-bucket with no fenders or windshield, why not a rail?

    I used to get sick ideas about mid-engined rails with fat gummy tires on them instead of big poofy rears and bicycle fronts. Then a few years later I heard about the Lotus Seven, and was reminded that there are no new ideas.

    Thread is useless without this:
