Default Track question.

I have 6 acers and lots of sand lying around. I want to make a track. What kind of obsticles, include how long they should be, like a tabletop 4 feet tall and 10 long, that was an example. I am just wanting to build a track and i want to make a track like a real one. I havnt been to a real offroad rc track so I dont know what they look like in person. i have only seen other tracks in magazines or on the internet. So any help would really help. and I am really wanting to start on this tomarrow. My rc is kinda broke right know so I am going to build this track also that way the track can harden and so I can get alot of work in on it.
Thanks guys for the help

I would not use sand I would use hard packed clay.

You may want to review the Roar Rules on tracks. The rules can be downloaded off of their website.
http://www.roarracing.com/rules.php

There are also various track photos in my RCU Gallery and in one of my folders at MZR/Gallery TNB.

This local website also has numerous photos of some of the area tracks, including a very nice shot of the layout used at the 2005 Silverstate Nitro Challenge.

This photo from the same website shows some of the new lighting that was installed.
