It is official. My dad and I are going to build a track in his backyard. We are going to start the planning this Saturday, and hopefully start building shortly after that. We were just talking and were wondering how many people live anywhere close to us that would be interested in coming over and running on it? We are going to take pics as we go, and post them on here too. It is not going to be anything fancy or huge, but it will definitely be a good bashing, and racing track. Just figured I would throw it up here and let everyone know. I know this isn't really just Redcat related, but seeing hows I am dedicated to Redcat, and this is where everyone has helped me with everything it would be the best place to post this. Let me know what you guys think.

Great bro, hope you and your dad have some fun together, make some videos for us too.

Oh I definitely will. We are going to do some bashing in his backyard Saturday, and I am going to have mom record it so I can get in on these contests. And so I can finally get a video for you. I have said so many times that I would, and now I finally can. I will keep everyone updated as we go on the track.

Have you drawn a track layout yet?

That is what we are doing this weekend. Well dad pretty much has the plan already. We are going to go over it this weekend. Then he is going to butcher the grass, and then we are going to use his buddy's tiller and till the whole track. He has some drain tube we will use for the edges of the track.
I think we are going to use pallets and plywood for the base of the jumps and then cover those with about 4-6 inches of dirt. I think we, mainly him, have a good plan going.

sounds good. make sure to take lots of progression photos so we can see it from start to finish.

man I wish I was closer.....I got a buddy with a dig-it and a trackhoe ..lol

that would help. shame you are not closer. oh well. I think we will be alright. The tiller he is going to use is a pull type tiller...for behind his lawn mower. I believe anyway. BTW just got done running my Tornado a little bit. Mainly just tuning issues. Everytime I got on it, it wanted to bog out and die. A little turn here and there and she is grabbing and going now. Dad better look out this weekend..ha ha...thanks on the comments guys.

dont forget to get some Video and some pics.....

Most definitely. I don't plan on running unless my mom will video record us. I have been saying long enough now that I was going to get some pics and video on here, well now I have the chance. Should have something up Sunday from it.
