unless youve put everything into a track like art has is there really a need to bash him? there will be a offroad at kslr and hopefully performance also, plus there are backyard tracks locally that people are willing to let us play on. i speak for myself when i say id rather not have a big huge sponsered track locally cause then youll tend to get people who think of it as a job instead of what it really is which is a toy car hobby.

and without dumping a few grand in you aint gonna have a "big, good" track as you called it. with pipe being $167 for 100 ft for cheap grade, and you with no machinary, how much you reckon you can build a "top notch" 1/8th scale track for thats hard not easy?

and u said enough yourself when u said "u dont need $10 grand i built a good track in my godparents yard" sounds like a everday run of the mill "backyard" track to me of course it wouldnt be $10 g's. but u gotta think a full amb is around 4500 starter cost then piping,nails, wood for stands, electricity, permits,water, parking area, restrooms etc i could go on and on with costs ive checked into it all and even with free labor and alot of free materials your still looking at $8k plus for a "commercial business" track

sorry if i offended anyone but you need to get facts together before u start bashing people for trying to help n give up their land and money n time for a "hobby" they dont participate in just so people can have somewhere decent to run. and regardless if the track didnt suit you dont bash it be happy its there for everone to enjoy not just yourself if u want that then build your own track in your yard

man you dont need 10k ive built a track in my god parents yard a while back and paid for the piping and it was pretty good and art i dont know the guy but the old track was too stricted and it ran me off and its to small we need buggys and truggys and scts all there gonna worry about is the oval so nothings gonna be done i will find out tomarrow about the land my mom owns she said something a while back about it
