Default Track Materials

I'm wanting to build a basic off road track. Was wanting suggestion on fairly cheap materials to use for edging and ramp building.

Hey Guys, I am also thinking about building an Off Road Dirt track myself, and I am looking for some track configurations to try out. I am working with an area about 80' wide by about 100' deep. Also we will be mainly running 1/10 scale nitro. Any input would be great.Thanks.[8D]

One reason to build a track is so you can learn to race a circuit which is kinda important if you ever want to race at a real course.
Not something you can really learn at construction sites even though they are probly alot of fun. The other reason, Why not if you have the room to build a track. I have five acres to work with and can build numerous tracks if I want. Sorry if that sounds like bragging I do plan on opening a track to fellow racers/ bashers in the near future.

Oh by the way Carl that rope sounds like a good idea i think I will try to locate some bet it would look cool. Thanks for the idea.


Best Regards,

Bud
