Looks nice for a backyard track! I'm working on mine now. I started making it around 7 feet wide, realized that'll take too long, and since im the only one using it, i can narrow it down. So the first lane with the table is about 7 feet wide everythin else is gonna be 4-5 feet wide

A dirt track right in front of your doorstep!WOW!Wish I had a dirt track.
I live on a 9 acre lot and I do have a track in one of our pastures,but its not dirt[]I just mow the track as low as possible.We were permited to make the dirt jumps which was easy because we used a skidsteer.
I did have logs to outline the track but we kept breaking parts because of them.[]

The tightest corner on the track is 5 ft. The big jump in the small straight-away is a 7 ft gap, from takeoff to landing. I remeasured the track and it is 70ft X 40ft.

We run about 7 tanks a day 7 days a week with a factory team RC10GT2 on 20% race fuel through a FE .15 and we (lil bro and I) average 20 second laps. We get about 9 minutes per 75cc tank before you have to refill without shutting off. Pretty tough little car [8D]

I don't know who would kill me first, my neighboors or my parents! If I were you I would invest in a smaller pinion so that you have more acceleration and if you have the money get an electric!

Nice work. Having a track in the backyard is the greatest!
Once you have a track available, you will never look at bashing the same again.

Sweet! Your backyard looks great! I bet... You'd rather stay home and drive in the backyard than go to the mall with friends! That's what I would do! haha

Right now I have my throttle EPA at 65% out of 125% and I still pull small wheelies, wouldnt that just make it worse?

electric hahaha yeah thats a good one! then it wouldnt sound like a F1 dirt race track. (F1 because the lil rc's sound like F1 race cars on the straight away [8D] ) anyways the neighbors have a really loud alarm on there truck that goes off early every morning, so I have NITRO ALL DAY EVERY DAY!

Hey thats a really cool track, I like how you set it up so you have to jump over part of the track.

My brother, girlfriend, and I all worked together to make this track, I wanted it so we could practice driving and pitting and to find out what if any problems the car would have while racing so when we go racing we could go prepared and so we wouldnt look like noobs.

We still looked like noobs, but I did qualify 3rd and finished 3rd in the 1/10th scale A main at rev raceway my first time racing at a public race track That was kinda cool [8D]

As to the guy that raced his dog....How lazy can you be? Instead of walking the dog....you do this?.........Have fun all.................

Not instead....He gets daily adventures besides. I bring him to a local park for extended walks, we go for long bike rides in the country, he goes for kayak adventures on the river, we visit neighbor dogs for play times...That animal has a more active social life than I do. But THANK YOU for jumping to conclusions. What a stupid thing to say. To give you an idea of how 'lazy' I am...I live in a house that I built, I have built a raised 3 pond/3 waterway system in my front yard, I have extensive landscaping and flowerbeds throughout my yard separated by flagstone sidewalk that was installed by me. I have a full time job and a part time job, and I volunteer time for Habitat For Humanity. I do my own maintenance and repairs on my vehicles(4 of them).
You have no idea who or what I am! Your conclusion is erroneous, and unjustified.
BUT, you have provided me with enough to jump to my own conclusion....[sm=punching.gif]

Nice track!!! Very nice work too!! I have a 120 acre farm and I am planning on building me a track as soon as I figure out where to put it[sm=confused.gif] Had a dirt oval track but we have a barn there now[&o] Everything else is timber or hay fields. I wish I had your dirt here in VA. We have red clay and BIG rocks that like to smash car parts[:@]
