First race will be sooner if you go get your shovel on.

I love seeing threads about backyard tracks and courses, nice start.

Lol, I'm sure if Bryce wasn't 2.5hrs away he'd be here to dig as well.
Temp reached 102* today to hot to work, hopping tonight cools down enough to Finnish track layout.

Track layout is done ( the easy part) last pics until it's finished.
Looks like I need to pick a date and buy some beer to get some extra shovels here to fine tune this track.

Saturday after it starts to cool down 5ish, I'm going to burn trough a few packs. Any local (or not so local) guys wanna stop by and burn a few packs lmk. No shovels required, run track as is.
