pretty cool track to have in your backyard. A few jumps would be cool. Do the neighbours get pi$$ed with the noise of nitro?

yea the plan was to have jumps on like every straight except the 1 that goes along the side fence but since I'm moving its not gonna be worth swinging on the shovel ect and then not even get to use it
Where I'm moving they dont have a track or even a club so I'm going to try and get 1 going... which will mean swinging on the shovel a hell of a lot to make a track for competition standards... dont know how i will go buy hey all i can do is try
I haven't had any complaints yet although a lot of people here are old and always stop and watch if they are walking past and tell me how its good to see people getting out and doing stuff instead of sitting in front of the TV

no i never though of that thankyou for the idea i am going to do it right now 
I've been thinking of a way to get a birds eye view as well haha
I installed google earth and had a look and my track isn't on there.
The land is that its been built on but I'm presuming they haven't updated there databases or something

no worries
if its reguraly updated then ill be sure to get some arial pics of my track and post em up for every1 to see
All i need now is some one with a digital camera or a video camera so that i can get some footage of me running it before i leave.
It looks so small and tight but u would be supprised on how much speed you can carry around it if you time your corners right and i am still yet to work my brakes out on my PROTOS
