I think we'll give Jason a new name, from now on he will be know as Tatter.
Just think it could be Teeter & Tatter Racing

As long as nobody pitting next to me becomes known as Tooter!

I will mark out the jumps and give a number on how many cubic yards per area.

If there are any jump-design artists who want to come out and mark out jumps before the dirt-moving day, I don't mind sharing ideas. I have never actually designed a jump-filled track before now.

FWIW, in the attached photos from a few minutes ago, I have tilled the new parts of the track to get the corn stalks out of there. The poles in the background are for banners. The other picture is the new drivers stand extension.

Bob,
That's a better attitude! Good job! Looks like you have been busy. When you tilled the dirt did it bring up some clay?
We will have to build the jumps in lifts. Meaning that we will spread about 6" of clay and compact each lift(layer) until we have reached the desired height. This will make a much more solid jump and should hold up much better.
Keep in mind the tubes should be on top of the jumps also, so you may need some more tube.

Hey Bob, I still haven't received a email from rcsignup for the slash races. Do you know how to contact them, they won't let me sign up again because I've already used my name and email address.

The tiller only goes down 8 inches, but the clay is about a foot down.

I might need to know your email address, but I will ask them now, generically.

I just sent off a mail to them.

Steve, Hi. Someday I will have to stop over and see your track. What kind of lap counter is it? I am getting ready to spend some afternoon with family activities other than racing. And then I think I might mow my grass.
