Finish Line



The hairpin is about 10 feet end to end, straight aways are about 35 feet long, Width at turn two and three is about 20 feet.

Now it is time to make some grooves.

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

11 acres in Maine...You are sitting on a gold mine. I have a little over an acre near Pittsburgh. Not normal for this area. That's enough for me.

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.
