Not bad. Not bad at all. That's some pretty descent driving skill also.

Great vid..  Nice driving too...  Only thing missing is a longer straight to open those engines up a bit...

but like arenacross you have to force the pass

Wow, nothing but amazing stuff for the track.  Maybe if you had a driving site outside the track it may make it easier?  Still thats some insane driving/track.  Saw the old track videos, sure has changed from location to location

I really likethis track. i was wondering what type of dirt did you use for it? and when you built it did you just use a shuvel and a wheelbarrow or did u have a machine to help you? this will help settle a long fued about building my track... i say i can shuvel the dirt in if my dad gets me the dirt... he says you need a machine

I've redone this track several times. Initially i brought in 1 truckload of dirt. But I had a decent amount of dirt there from the new build. My biggest problem on this track is rocks from the native soil. The most recent time when i redid this i had access to a skid steer, but I have done it without and that worked just fine. Get some buddies over with some shovels and wheelbarrows and just get it done. It goes much more quickly than you'd think. Make sure you have your cars with you to test it as you go. Also a flat faced shovel is a must.
