[QUOTE="Sawblade, post: 646995, member: 19971"] Here's a web site that has great points: [url]http://www.racingsmarter.com/building_a_practice_track.htm[/url] As all ready stated you have plenty of room. I grew up on a farm, my Dad let me build a track on about 3 acres. It was small, but I thought it was great. A few pointers I can give you from my experience with my own pratice tracks and promoting races. First, don't try to cram to many jumps into every straight. Second, plan the track out on paper first and try to use any features of the land if there are any. Third, lay out the track and mark jumps and turns, then ride it before putting in any obstacles. This gives you a idea if what you put on paper will work. As Ted said put the doubles after you have rode the track a few times to help determine distances. No since coming up short and getting hurt when you are doing this for fun! When building the jumps pack them down with the tractor wheels, bobcat, dozer or what ever you are using. This helps keep ruts down and will help with the problem that RV6junkie had. Ive even used my pickup! If you have water availabe, use it on the jumps as RV6junkie stated. Also, sometimes it's easier to do the final prep work by hand with a shovel and rack to grade out what you want. A little foot stomping can also go a long way to packing the dirt down. Its a lot of work, but you will be one of the fortunate ones to have their own track. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress and post some pictures of your progress and end result! [/QUOTE]
