RE: my own track
Maybe you should have this thread moved to the RC Car forums.
Looks like you have a good start on some thing that could turn into something great for you and your friends

RE: my own track
Our club has 2 tracks, one is an asphalt oval, about 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, with an 8 foot high bank in the turns, and we also have a dirt track, for the curbs we went to Home depot and bought that plastic tubing, cant remeber the size, but I think it was the 4 inch black flexable drain pipe, the one that comes in big rolls. and as for the weeds, we tried it all, weed killer, rock salt, but what really seemed to work was just useing the track alot and the cars will kill the weeds. or if you have the money, get a few tons of clay and line the track with clay and pack it down.....
hope this helps.....
