Default New Dirt Track Layouts???

Does anyone know where I can get ideas for a dirt track. We will be running 1/8 and 1/10 scale on this track. I was just wondering if there were any good articles on this sort of thing. Thanks

Default New Dirt Track Layouts???

We have just about anything at our disposal. We are starting with a big grass field so anything is possible. We are actually starting our own R/C club. We have a huge on-road track we are in the process of completing. It used to be an old go-cart track. We are going to be a roar track and hopefully hold a midwest regional race next year. If you know of any articles or places where I can get more information I would appreciate it. Thanks again.

http://www.ultimaterc.com/deltarc/i/...ad_outb_lg.jpg here's a pic of how my local track used to be hopefuly that helps some. If you wanna make it hard put lots of dips and bumps, make a lil mine field and have small AND big jumps just before turns . That'll make me people slow down and if not they better bring a dust pan .

We are using black pipe and it is working out really well. I hope to see you nitroman. Once we officially open the track I will let you know and you can come check it out.
