Never tried a double cat trax but I went land yachting in a California Dried lakebed outside a San Diego about 20 years ago, what a riot! The wind was blowing so hard that if you turned sideways it would snach your ballcap right off your head and you had to chase it down. We tracked one of the land yachts with the rental car and hit 47 mph.

What a blast by the end of the day I was “flying a wheel” had her up on two wheels and then saw I was heading for the only damn rock in the desert lake bed. Skimmed the face of the rock and went into a flat spin on all three wheels and they were chirping like a formula one car in the chicane turn of a road course. I was laughing so hard I was crying. With the red California dust I looked like Alice Cooper from the 70’s when I was done for the day.
