As for some tips, I have seen is using Pool Noodles as bumpers around obstacles Amazon has the traffic cones of many sizes for RC tracks. Very Cheap. The surfaces are one thing from dirt. Blue Stone dust sand we R talking about, It has to be pretty much maintenance free but for the racing surface. But most importantly have to gain interest in it to make it a worthwhile project. keep the Ideas and suggestions coming
Build it and they will come. Local gov't zoning issues?...

Why doesn't a person publicize they have a track? It's not well groomed; bumpiest track ever driven on; slickest track anyone should have to attempt to drive on (using softest compound tires doesn't help
), and possibly doesn't want to entertain people when not in the mood. Number one reason maybe...liability. It's sad, I know. One almost has to setup some type of formal contract for people to sign. If a person starts inviting friends over, or even tell them they can come over whenever they want, eventually booze will/could be evolved...someone is gonna get hurt, and will be on personal property.
