I've put in a few hrs. work on the track here's what I have so far, still need a few irrigation tubes to Finnish up. Anyone local to Phelan CA. wanting to run a few packs pm me. I'm sure this track will always be changing.

I may want to check out that track. I'm down in Rancho, so you're about 40min away.

How are you set up for parking? Between this and Chris's track we may be able to add a couple of rounds the next series at new places. Of course, these would be in addition to the existing Glen Helen dates.

IMHO, removing the big whoops at that first right turn would help. Maybe an offset group of moguls?

Any time LMK between U4RC race & Border line crawlers race/competition dates. I'm always ready to burn a few packs. Your not far @ all I drive it everyday.

I'm open to any track modifications anyone wants to do. Bring a shovel

Hey Brian, parking shouldn't be a problem only problem with my track would be the lack of a driver's stand for an official U4RC race.

It looks like the elevation of your hill should overlook the track just fine without a stand. Maybe just dig out a flat spot in the hillside? I can definitely bring a shovel and pick axe.

Or build up an elevated dirt drivers stand. A flatbed trailer could work too.

Is the elevation as inclined as it looks in the vid? If so, I should bring my bouncer up there when it's done and see how well it does!

Yes? There's a good elevation change, nothing like the devor U4RC hill climb.

Heh, that can be worked on. No concrete work though, just dirt and a prayer that you make it to the top?
