haha, you are lucky, yeah, hope the rains didn't completely flood my main source of dirt, aka "the pit" should post a few pics (or demensions) so I can maybe come up with a design, just a thought, yeah, like I don't have enough to do, mine is almost done, just got to finish putting the dirt for the lane markers by the outermost turn and the pit lane, as well as atack the weeds on there, can anyone say Vinegar[8D], yeah, really, it works, why am I blabing........

I just thought I would post some pics of our track in the making. We have been working on it for about 3 days. Most of the work was on the tabletop turn/tabletop, it alone took 30+ yards of dirt. The jumps are just roughed out now and the burms need more work but it should be done next weekend. I will post a pic once the rest of the track is done.

Track in the works ...

ok, track almost finished, post pics tomorrow, man, dirt is HARD to get these days[&o]

wish i had one of those loaders. i need to fix my quad so i can work on mine. the ground is finally soft but now its rainy and cold. also the deer keep walking on it. makes me want to go hunting[>:]

me to, I guess you got the rain that is headed or way, kindof want it/don't

We finished the track today minus the drivers stand. We had 400ft of 4" corrugated tubing and used 700ft. That stuff adds up. The white tubing for the perimeter was free. If you live in northern California and want to run with us shoot me an email.

hey your in concord, sweet im in benicia, right across the bridge wheres your track?, hey motoren i sent you an email

so does anybody have anything new? i started to mess with my track again now that we have some good weather. i am going to work on it tomorrow

I haven't done much of anything.....but the weather isn't so nice here. However, I've been building up some supplies. I've got the lighting assemblies for night time driving....and some scrap wood for repairs/upgrades. Once that weather cooperates, I'll begin the process and post in my forum "Birth of the Backyard Track". Plan to dump and mulch grass clippings into the dirt all year......see if that helps with moisture retention. Plus, I'd like to finish my track wetting system for the other half of the track. Should be interesting! Let you know when I get to it......

Laters.

Ob1n

er, nothin new on my track, added a new jump, that is about it, been havin tons of problems with rocks........[>:]

worked a little today

Anyone know of a good track around Indiana or South west Ohio???? Or any one from around that area willing to lend a few hands to build one? I have lenty of room.

Here is my first Design Idea!!! Any Input??? Or anyone close?

This is our track we are TRYING to build at work. We are well on our way to complete it soon. We have more guys at work into 1/8 offroad and our track is underway. It is small for now, just needs some fine tuning and it will be done. I will send more pics.....it just takes time because of the job.

here is my track in crossville, tn. Its has been a work in progress for about 2 years now. We have races aout here about twice a year and have open practice nearly every weekend. The track stays good and smooth during racing due to the amount of racing done on it. I found tht you can kill yourself trying to smooth and groom the track, but the best thing todo is just leave it alone. The reason behind leaving it alone is the GROOVE. Why rake and groom fresh dirt over an already established racing groove? Check out my Track web site at www.rcmountain.spaces.live.com

I really like the hose idea. I figure if you can get 25' hoses from a 99 cent store you can cover a track pretty cheap, or even double up on it so it's easier to see.

we have a new problem on our track. someone with a dirtbike keeps riding on it and causing ruts. also, when it was wet, some kid walked on it and made footprints about 3 inckes deep and now they are rock hard[:@]. pretty soon i think im going to fence the whole track off

Here is a video of the track I am working on in my backyard. Will be buildin a drivers stand soon and doing a little more work on the jumps. Video is a little more than a month old and the jumps are alot more hard packed now.

thats a nice track. looks like you will have plenty of room for multiple cars to run too.

Thanks. I have some room to make it bigger and want to make the lanes a little wider but am going to wait till I get the drivers stand so I can see alot better. Right now you have to stand in the same spot that was being video taped to you can see down in the pit and the rest of the track is little far to see for standing on the ground.

This is my track, it was alot of work to build! And takes alot of work to maintain, but its worth it, I think lol

Some action shot

it will be cool when the trees grow up except for the roots[:@]

well my track is currently full of about 4 or 5" of snow at the moment so no nothing happening there... :|

but I am going to hopefully put it back together in the spring when the ground thaws out and the snow melts away
