My Back-yard track
Heres some pictures and a short video of my home track. Sorry about the crapy cell phone video. Just thought I would share the result of all my hard work with you guys. Let me know what you think. All done by hand and hand tamped. Nothing special, just the dirt from my back yard and a 12x24 sifter. It's a hard and smooth surface. I run JC Bar Codes and almost have to much traction.

O yeah, I love coming home from a long day at work at throwing down some laps. I just need to get myself a scoring system and get some of my buddies over for a night of racing.

I would like to see a video of some cars running. You know they have a free software download that you can use a computer, we cam and solid color bodies and it will count laps and do lap times?

Love the track! I'm jealous. My wife would kill me if I turned the whole backyard into an RC track1

It looks like you decided to have a house built around your track.
