Trials to drive fast on?

Do you have suggestions for trails or roads to drive “fast” on? I’m looking to try something a little different than the Jeep trails that require you to crawl down…. Not trying to be a Baja racer, and not looking to break laws. I just want to try out my new suspension on different terrain. Something that will test out the remote reservoirs/shock fade and will let me play with the compression adjusters. Left to my own devices, I plan to head out to the forest service roads in the Hayman fire area or try out trails by Tarryall Reservoir and South Park area.

 

North Sand Hills just outside of Walden. Go as fast as you want. Might be covered in snow right now though.

 

I know you put your disclaimer in there, but there are two main problems with driving 'fast' on forest roads - sight lines and traction. Most of the time you won't have much warning if someone is approaching fast, and even less so if you're both going fast. And you do not have to be going very fast at all to hit a patch of something or some ruts and have traction break, no matter what tires you have - there's a couple posts around here of people who have done headers into boulders or rolled it off the side of a trail and weren't 'going very fast'. It's not just to prevent washboarding that most of those roads have low, 10-25mph speed limits.

That said, an open play area like the Dunes that Starlord mentioned is probably your best bet. I don't know of any 4x4 or OHV tracks/parks over here, but I know there's a couple of areas out by Montrose that could fit the bill. Several spots in Utah as well. Rollins Pass is one of the most washboarded trails over here I know of, and most of it is wide enough to drive fast-ish on, but it's popular, I believe has a speed limit, and I don't know that washboards will really cycle suspension enough to test or try out what you're wanting to. In fact I've mostly heard it said there's not really any wheeling in CO that would cycle suspension like that.

 

Nw corner of the state has endless dirt county roads, fs roads and very few people.

Plenty of dirt in the south Park area but rocky is all the suspension workout you'll get, nothing that i know of that that'll be bumpy and allow a bunch of speed for any sustained time.

I know the raptor guy was doing stuff in Wyoming.

 

I'm pretty sure CORE is permanently closed now

 

Correct as far as I know, it's permanently closed now. I know a landowner next to it and had some info on that, but I can't remember the details or find any news articles or official sources or anything. In fact if you search for it there's a lot of third party sites that still reference it like it's open - but their facebook page and all that stuff is gone.
