RC Driving Style
Well, after dreaming about it for a while I decided it was a possibility. I will be making a track designed after a touge. For those of you who don't know, a touge is a mountain road that's driven hard, mostly by drifters. My project will be built on a flat pad at the bottom of my property. Unlike a real touge, however, the whole track will be flat. The area surrounding the track, however, will include lots of exotic plants, a bansai tree, and actual guardrails. The track's dimensions are 4 feet x 80 feet x 5 inches(thickness of concrete). My only problem so far is finding out how many bags of cement to use. I should have pictures of the pad soon and I'll tell you about my progress.
 
Sounds like a great project. Can't wait to see the pics. I believe there are some online construction calculators to figure out how many bags you'll need based on the squared footage. Keep us up to date with its progress.
 
U must have alot of property, i can't even drive my truck in my backyard let alone make a track.
 
Post your address here after you have done. All RCNT's members will get free admission :D
 
I've got several acres, and this particular spot seemed perfect for it. I'd say it's about 50x40 and completely flat. Everybody will be invited to come free of charge; since it's just a private track, I don't really plan on charging anytime soon.
