Default Any tips for building a backyard track

The wife says i can build a track in our backyard. The area is about 100'x60'. Any tips on layout, track surface, etc. It will be used for off road trucks and buggys.

Get out your shovels and rakes and implements of destruction, and start moving dirt!

Cut the grass real short, and start driving around to find a layout that feels good to drive, then go to work grooming and building jumps.
