Rally Tracks!
 
Here in Colorado we have several rally tracks popping up all over the place. How about everyone posts a couple photos of their tracks so we have a good source for track layouts and ideas. Feel free to include location, track details and anything special/cool about your track. "thumbsup"

We used this track when it was bitter cold out. It was just a temporary track, but tons of fun.

We named it the HOON House

Awesome tracks Trutle!


No tracks here in Pittsburgh yet, but I hope that will change.

Here is a cool little carpet track that some guy beats the crap out of his DRX.

Action starts 20 seconds in.

Here is a track we made in a baseball field with disc cones. So you can see that all you need is a baseball field and some cones, and you can make some pretty cool tracks.

Made a temporary tarmac track right above our HOON470 track a couple of weeks ago. A lot of chalk and some stuff found around the broken tarmac made for some fun racing.

DOT and abandoned spaces right next to parks( I think still DOT). The last tarmac track is the old road, but the section in the first photo is the total length of it. It is right next to a road that dead ends and has 3 houses on it. The HOON470 track is on DOT. The BMX guys and myself have talked to the DOT guys and they don't care what we do and often come down to watch the bikes flying on their breaks. A track can be built anywhere as long as you are willing to put the work in, which in most cases is not that much.

Right on, I'll have to start looking. I always wanted to convert my backyard, but there was never enough space for my old street car. Rally opens the whole yard up. There is a concrete basketball court surrounded by gravel, and then a lower area covered in grass and dirt, but the drop off is about 4 feet so I would need to build a few things. I'm getting one of these cars and planning this thing out to have it ready for summer, you guys inspired me, this looks like too much fun.

Just thinking about getting a rally. Once my buddy drops off his bobcat I'll get to work on a track. Do you guys prefer one like a regular type track or one that you have to follow the vehicle? I've got a 1/4 acre lot to work with. Several trees around the perimiter. I do enough walking at g6's so I'm leaning towards standing on milk crates lol

What I wouldn't give for a flat back yard! At least we've got enough space behind our shed and the kids clubhouse to build a decent crawler course...

Thanks for sharing. It's got me thinking.

Great thread Ty!

All our tracks here in Colorado are closed course tracks. Not a lot of guys are willing to chase their car so this opens it up to more people. Tracks are generally real tight and technical so a milk crate isn't needed but probably would help, plus it gives you something to carry your stuff in:) In Europe it's almost exclusively chase style driving.

How do you guys get rid of the grass? I've got a couple of large fields around here that I can use...to a point. Can't haul in any large equipment so I need to get the grass gone without a backhoe or bobcat.

Bring a Shovel, Mulch Rake, Buckets & Gloves.
1. Shave of the top layer of rocks, grass and roots with a shovel.
2. Fill it in with clean dirt. Add water if possible. Pack it down as best you can.
3. Use Ground Clear or some other "kill everything":lmao: weed killer once a year.
4. Drive on it A LOT. The more you drive on it, the less weeds to pick "thumbsup"

If you have a supply of water near by its a BIG help. If it's a dusty track it helps to soak it a couple hours or the day before you run. It helps keeping the clouds of dust down & helps track wear down.

Advil is my friend the next day:lmao:

:ror:

It does, but it is all worth it. The Hoon470 track in Morrison Colorado (which underwent another remodel) was built the same as Basic mods said. When the track was first built though I used a weed wacker and shaved the grass down to the dirt. That helped a lot and was pretty quick. Another way to do it too is to dig up the grass and flip it upside down. That will keep the grass out for a long time. After that drive it a ton, walk it, drag your feet on it, spin a motorcycle tire on it, anything works to kill the grass.

Re: Rally Tracks!
 
Hoon470 received another addition. This one took a couple weeks to get done, but should be well worth the effort.

Here is the rest of the track as of today, don't mind the massive amount of water. Colorado has been getting non stop rain the last couple of days. :ror:

Checked it out today. The water is 3 or 4 inches higher then the photos posted above. The main bridge is also 50 feet down and bent around a tree. There is a lot of new dirt and sand though, so repairs should be quick and better then ever. :lmao:
