any advice on how to get some dirt to build with? Are there companies that dump some dirt, maybe clay? How much does this cost? I might be movin to San Diego this fall/winter so maybe I will race you atomic someday...

4 meters wide and as high as you like and aim for a 40 second lap time.

location charlotte,NC

unfortunatly this is a track that only gets raced on a dozen times a year and no practice except the friday before race weekend, but man is it worth it... there are people that will drive 1000 miles just for 1 race... laptimes are about 50-60 seconds...

thats my track may change this year. The owners change the configuration every 2 years or when all the racers vote on a track change.
