Backyard was always great, I remember being about 12 and spending hours and hours practicing in the back yard.
I can't thank you enough for reminding me about gutter races, I had completely forgotten about doing that, except we used wooden matches. The best times were in the spring when you would get little ice bridges over the gutter and waiting to see if it would make it through. Ah those were the days.
