Hey guys,
Not sure if any of you will remember my old posts about the track, but I'm happy to tell you it is almost complete. It has taken longer then I expected because it has rained quite heavily in my area recently making killing off the grass and weeds a pain, as well as other commitments I had making it take a bit longer. Recently my local track swapped from using ag pipe to rope because another nearby track shutdown and donated the rope to our track. I called up my track and got permission to take some of the old ag pipe back to line my track. There are a few final steps before it is fully completed. First of all, there is a section up the back that needs to be cleared out which will connect to the back straight and have a large berm to carry you through a hairpin turn. Secondly the drivers stand/perch still needs to have the railing put on it, And finally I am still working out what jumps etc. I should add to the track and where they should go - which I'm open to suggestions for
Thanks!

What a great start, mate. Maybe run a few packs through the cars you have to get an idea on the flow of the track. Where to put jumps on so on will fall into place. And you can always re-locate them. A backyard track is a continuing work in progress. The more you run it, the more ideas for change you will get.

Congrats on your efforts so far. It ain't easy. :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up: Cheers, < AC >
