You can get older but you sure don't have to grow up!
This is next level, from childhood hot wheels racing made in to real life in backyard.... Travis god bless you
Amen
What I wouldn't give to give that a shot. Where do I sign up?
Finally racing I can MAYBE afford…
I definitely want to race there
Only 17 complaints in 30 months... You have very understanding neighbors!
Doesn’t want goats and horses near him but builds a racetrack
@@RileyGeinburning rubber and shit dont mix very well
He kinda doesn't mention he sold most of the neighbors their houses.
For a moment I thought this was gonna be about the go karts you can rent in Japan, but the Backyard 400 sounds even cooler.
My exact thoughts I almost passed up the video all together bc of that. Glad I watched it though ha
The ones in Japan are super fun. U get to ride in the city streets lol
Leave it to Travis to give us the best closing statements of all time. I was wondering when the pesky neighbor was going to get an honorable mention.
He needs better neighbors. Both of mine would only be mad if they didn’t get to race too.
Having one of his neighbors drive the pace car sounds like a good neighbor bribe!
This race needs to be on TH-cam!! Record it next time and do a live feed please…
Various youtubers did videos on it
yes, there is $$ on the table here to support the event. Think of the ad rev televising!!!!
I'd like to see it done in the style of an actual NASCAR race. Former drivers as commentators, slow panning drone shots as they thank sponsors (real, or made up), a camera right off the track at a high speed section. All of it.
Definitely needs commentary. 😎
Only 17 times? Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up!😂
Travis Bells stories are always the best
Yup, he's up there with Hans Christian Andersen and J. R. R. Tolkien.
Second to only Christopher Michaels.
Thanks, I just have cool friends!
@@bgft91OMG Chris Michaels needs his own channel and some scene reenactments
He's a righteous dude.
If i only had 3 turtle shells rotating around my cart ..
Or mushrooms
Now we have to test if banana peels have the intended effect...
While I am quite proud of two shout-outs in a Travis Bell video, and even prouder that he gave me the MiniRam, I am most proud to be friends with Travis Bell and enjoy the smiles he brings everywhere he goes. If he is not your hero he should be.
I don't think I have ever had a better time racing anything, it was absolutely nuts out there on the track! We are all very lucky to have Travis as a friend!
If it helped put a smile on your face, then it's worth every dime, Mate!
The best part about this race was you becoming one of my very best friends!
@christophermichaels agreed man, we had an absolute ball, I don't think I've ever laughed as much. And it was our first road trip too!
Travis! Give ol Cleetus a call and put that next Backyard 400 on pay per view!
Nooooo, cleets fan boys will ruin it! 😂
Nah, Cleetus'll ban you for gettin in his precious grass.
I was confused why Travis kept emphasizing “walking path”…. I’m sure the city council loves it when when he comes around looking for building permits
I think all VinWiki story telling regulars need to be in on this years race. Ed, Christopher, Freddy, Tyler, Rabbit and Ficarra would be hilarious
In exotic bodied gocarts 🤣🤣🤣
@@ranranran8316 Bring in David (Car Wizard) in a H1 Hummer go cart
This years race is going to be a blast!!
The world needs more people like Travis. Like a LOT more!
A house came up for sale here that already had a kart track in the backyard. I imagined exactly these kind of shenanigans, but it was wayyyy out of my price range. Thanks for reigniting the dream Travis!
Travis Bell is the kinda friend all of us want but very few of us are lucky enough to have in our lives.
You know you have money to burn when you drop 110k on a walking path in your backyard. lol
This was so much fun! Thanks Travis for putting it on, looking forward to the next one
He most definitely told his wife it was a walking path but he had this in mind all along
If word of this gets out, you're gonna need a bigger backyard
Too late
😂😂😂
Travis is my HERO! That is epic! I'd love to do the Backyard 400. We need a full documentary with race footage. LOVE IT!
17 times in 30 months is pretty on par with living a good life. I’ve had the neighbors call the cops about half as many times in about 18 months so I’m right there with you. 😂 Each time just makes me want to push the envelope a little bit more!
Travis, When you do this again, you should put out a call to former marching band people to bring their instruments and see how rusty they are. Star Speckled Banana and your state's anthem, Sweet Home Carolina, On The Road Again, 50 Ways to Say Goodbye, and a bunch of other audience favorites that they can sing along too. I'd show up with my dented student horn that I still have and sometimes play. (I really need to get my butt back in playing shape. Round's a shape?)
This was such an epic time! Thanks to Travis and his amazing friends for putting it on! Can’t wait to do it all again!
New neighbours are required, mine congratulate me on how awesome my car sounds!👌🤷♂️
Lol 17 times in 30 months. I think I've had 1 complaint in the last 7 years 😂 I gotta start trying harder
This was the most amazing experience i have ever spectated. So glad i was able to go last year and hoping to make it to this years race.
I grew up a couple of exits south of Greenwood the town Travis grew up in. He's not much older than me, and I distinctly remember cruising in Greenwood, IN, and seeing AND hearing the Geo Tracker he speaks so fondly of! Every Travis story hits home for me. Love it.
Let's go Tracker!
@@travisbell4996 ....Columbus, IN.
You cannot understand how much fun this event is until you see it for yourself! Thanks again for having me, Travis!
Sounds like the automotive/non-fictional equivalent of the Dr. Seuss book "And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street." So excellent!
Travis Bell is just the best. He'll always get a thumbs up from me.
He lives only about 3 hours west of me & I hope to meet him some day & it'd be a once in a lifetime experience to be there for the next Backyard 400.
BTW... Rob Pitts should be the Master of Ceremonies 🙂
This went from back yard fun to full race weekend event. They had a Marshal and a Pace Cart, only thing missing was in air coverage lol
I lost it...."In 30 months my neighbors have only complained about me 17 times.......Still giggling over that line.Classic
I thought for a split second that he was gonna bamboozle us, in a fashion that only Travis Bell could, and throw a dramatic pause between the numbers when he said the neighbors called to complain 17 times. Like, if he said, seven......teen times, lol. I'm actually kinda surprised he didn't.
Even before the video started I knew this was a Travis Bell transmission. Good job VinWiki.
Only 17 times?!? You’re ahead of the game, Travis! 🤣😂🤣…. Always invite the neighbors, and warn them ahead of time of the days and noise levels. It helps.
Anyone else see the irony in him buying the land to keep from being bothered and then he bothers his neighbors?
Somebody better rock up in a Holden Malloo go kart
I'd love to go see this. Hell, I'd rent someone's taco truck and work the weekend just to be there.
Ha ha ha I did something similar. Bought 10 acres and had buddies come over with a 6.5hp limit. Grass track though.
Ed, this might be the greatest VinWiki car story yet! Been waiting on this since I heard old Rob Pitts make a few mentions of it on his channel. This is Travis' "Mona Lisa", a masterclass in hilarity and storytelling so good I had to watch it a 2nd time!
Can’t wait to see Sam Hard get in on this years action 😂
OMG he saved the best for last!! The neighbors only called the city 17 times I loved it!!!! Best story ever!
OMG, that sounds like so much fun. Next to my grandparents house was a strip of government land used to run utilities that we mowed and cared for. One year someone gave my brother and I an old gocart so we used an old plow truck someone left on my grandparents property to smooth out a track on the government strip of land. Then we put tractor tires on the gocart so it got some grip in the dirt and had a blast racing around our track. :)
Travis is the guy I want to hang out with the most
OMG! I never wished I was somebody’s neighbor more than I do now. Call to complain? Never. Travis knows how to live!
“The neighbors have only called the city to complain about me 17 times”
Ah, Marion county!
This is awesome! I live about 90 miles from Indy and have had a similar dream house/property plan for decades
I just wish I could be Travis's friend, he seems like such an awesome person
He is
That’s people being awesome, great work Travis
We've got this down here in Southeast Missouri 😂 guy turned a better part of 20 acres into a track, nothing but men in their 50s out there tearing it up
As a fellow Hoosier I would love to come & see this event , hell I would be a flagman or whatever jus to see it go down 👍👍👍👌
I hope they broadcast the go kart race the next go round, livestream on TH-cam! That would be epic! I can see bets being made on various cars too 😂 what a cool event!
The whole time I'm waiting for the neighbors.. prefect ending lol 😅
Dammit! I want a 1989 Z28 Convertible so badly!
This is life goals right here..... I might start looking into this and build an electric cart. 😁👍
These are always great stories. Travis Bell is awesome. Mix Christoper Micheals and Mr. Bell that is bound to be a great story.
Travis is my brother from another mother!
@@christophermichaels Awesome work on the Hot Wheels Show! Looking forward to more stories sir!
I am pretty sure that would be a dream for every gear head out there to have back yard go cart racing ..
This is absolutely awesome!!! How can my son and I get into a race in the future? I totally want to do this.
Brother this is awesome and you should be so proud to host an event this great!
That was one of my favourite stories. LOVED IT!!!
1:28 it's nice of him to build a private track for his wife to drive all their cars on since she's clearly not old enough to have an actual license.
👋 nice to meet you. mid 30s if you were wondering...had a license for more years than I have not.
@@haleybell7007 Take it as a compliment! hahaha
@@Tempsho actually, I do! I generally find the comments amusing, just didn't appreciate the negative vibe coming from this one 😜
Justin's big win! I can't wait to be at the next one!
Travis kudos to you being so kind about all the racers. One of them was a little upset from what I saw.
Super happy to hear there will be another backyard 400
Ed you need to do a carttrek the road to the backyard 500 and you guys race it
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever heard about. Please livestream this Travis!
Big fans of this Travis Bell character
I first saw this on Stapleton channel. Man what a really cool event. I wish I could participate in something so fun. Keep it going man! 👍 maybe widen the back straight a little 😅
Did you "Alert: Chris Fix?
Well, did you consider Rabbit as Grand Marshall?
DO IT!!!
This is my favorite vinwiki on gods green earth. I hope we hear Chris talk about this race. And please please record and put on TH-cam!
Thanks Scott. I do have a story coming and had an amazingly good time
@@christophermichaels you just made my day, I've watched you vinwiki playlist probably 50 times, I could listen to you talk all day. The misses even knows yours story's from heading me play them lol. Thank you, have a great day! I can't wait to tell her lol.
This would be SOOO fun!
Man, I must build myself a kart to drive in my yard
Possibly the coolest race I’ve ever heard of
I wish I had a friend like Travis !
Love the Sin Wiki shirt...suck it Casey
I love that generation Z24 in that color not gonna lie.
Motherfuking toilet Cobra has me dying laughing
Christopher has a waaaaaay with words.
If you have the race again, please film the whole thing and put it on here. I would love to see it
That kiwi in the Petty prix was sending it
Travis Bell is a legend in his own time!
How much fun would this race be to compete in? ALL THE FUN!
Great story Travis!!
This story makes me think what my dad's friend does look way more safe then what you planned xD
Glad you and your neighbor are finally on good terms.. We need a story on how that happened😆
This is so freaking cool!
i love this man so much xD living legend
One of the best Vinwikies ever!
This is aweomse - sounds SO fun!
This weekend was one of the funnest weekends Ive ever had!
I wish he was my neighbor
Sounds like a fun time
😂, great video. Neighbors have only complained to the city 17 times!!😂
One of my favorite stories so far
You Sir know how to have fun!
When I see Travis Bell, I know it’s going to be a good story!!!
Mans wife: You expect me to live in an orange house!?
Father Time: Just wait ma’am….
Guest of the year nominee
I would be killing people for a 1989 Z24 convertible. But for 2025, it should be a LeBaron convertible with a Tom Green wrap.
