much better. good idea with the "walls" around the turns so the trucks don't fling rocks/dirt out onto the lawn! |

Look at all that land between the homes. Makes me want to pack the family up and move out of Los Angeles.

| This is the base track. We want to get it settled and see how the trucks run. They have low clearance so we have to see. I will probably add some moguls on it to shake some ringers up if they are running too good.. |

Moguls and washboards, now your talkin. Makes me wish we still had a dirt track here. All we ever have here is carpet racing, besides rock crawling of course.
