Update: I spray painted the layout of the track today. I'm hoping to "break ground" tomorrow. I had to make some changes to the location. My back straight stretch won't be where I thought I was going to put it. The tree's and train tracks made it to narrow in most of the stretch, and we had a lot of rain the past couple of days and had a bunch of standing water. So I just move everything up away from all the trees. I'm hoping I can make a lot of headway tomorrow.
Thanks for everyone's advice and for those following this thread.
