NW Backyard Tracks
whos got em. i building mine between rain showers.lol. i had to move alot of pine needles and ivy to prep the area for the free clay i get. nice brown clay with a bit of blue strewn thruout. finally got to test the 2 jumps i have built sofar. worked perfectly! track will be technical with no straightaway. area is 22' wide by 65' ish long with elevation change af about 4-5'. moved about 6-7 yards of clay sofar and will be delivering another 12 yards hopefully next week. here are some pics.

well considering ive built many tracks (mostly at bear creek) i figure i know how to build a jump. and this double is just about right. i did however make a mistake and launched of the left side and it rolled to the left in the air and snappo! took out the left a arm on my sc10. oops! first time ive broken it since i got it back in october. guess i wont be doing that again. need to get more done this weekend and get a little bit of pipe laid out.
btw thanks for the compliment. clay is very similar to bear. lake washington clay. came out of chihulys back yard in seattle by the lake (cant disclose location) but its blocks from the lake. nice clay.

Our backyard RC track in Sequim, Wa. Loamy, old-school, 110x60 hillside. It's evolved pretty well over a handful of years. Tons of fun and a nice crowd of 8-10 drivers or so.

umm boss/friend/landlord. ive been here at this house for over 5 years. the area that i cleared he said i could bring in dirt to fill in. he didnt say what i had to do with the dirt. lol. he really doesnt care as long as i take care of the place and dont let it look crappy. i keep up the yard and the flowers and such. gonna have a nice border with some flower planters and make it look really nice after im done. now that the weather is looking up i might be able to get back out and spread some more dirt.

it can be either beer or shots. i prefer shots myself. not much of a beer guy but i wont pass one up if given the opportunity!
