Hi guys. I am building a new track in my backyard and thought that I would do a thread on it. My parents wont give ma any more room than this so this is what I have to work with. I will continually post updates. This thread is here to help inform people about making a track and for fun. The basic tools I will be using are...
-a shovel
-a wheelbarrow
-push roller
-weed thing
Here are some pics of the tool(shovel and wheelbarrow not pictured)

Nice track, I saw somewhere that you could maybe get some more space out of? The area by the corner of the fence (around the trees) may work? Just a thought [8D]. Other than that keep up the good work

I think the track is a little small for event but me and my friend will certainly race!. I might put some lighs on the trees for night racing and I might build a real drivers stand in the worner(better view). I cant go into the main yard but my parents gave me that space and I think how its set-up I will get the most practice/fun out of it[8D]
