Building a track! pics

[MCNorris]

I signed the papers and got this land yesterday! I will be finishing everything the second it gets warm next year. Does anybody have any advice about the best way to bring the oval back to life?, the flat area of land used to be an off road track but they guy flattened it to make a bandstand, but he said if I wanted to make another off road track I could have that part too. The only real drawback here is that there is no water running anywhere around here so I need to figure out a cheap way to get water here. I also need to find a used transponder system.

Not bad! The only real recommendation I can offer is... a fence! You would be amazed how quick some jerkoff on a dirtbike will tear up a track without thinking twice.

Sweet! So so jealous...

The whole area is fenced off, it is actually a sprint car go kart track, but the guy build an rc plane runway in the back field and the rc car tracks next to the go kart track. I am heading out there today with some buddies to try and come up with a track idea, I want something wide enough to race comfortably, the other off road tracks anywhere around here are like 3ft wide and it can kinda suck to race sometimes, I was thinking like 5 ot 6ft wide, I am also making a tractor pull strip!! I just found out that I can get as much free black dirt/clay for free in the spring too.

Transponders and scoring systems are big money. AMB has a monopoly on them. You'll need club support to help unless you have a few grand laying around to spare.
I only help run my club and I can tell you it gets to be a huge headache with a lot of back breaking work. See how many people are willing to participate before you go to far into this.

May I suggest drawing your track layout on paper? your area is flat so it's not like you need to judge the terrain or anything. Is this track for 1:10/1:8 scale?

I'm going to make it 1:8 but there will be some guys with 1:10 running on it too.

I would just draw it on paper but the track is just across a corn field from me lol
