Hey BORMAC,

If a picture says a thousand words, you just spoke volumes about back yard tracks!

It's even got a port'a'loo!

Looks like a great bunch of blokes, having a great time.

Cheers for sharing your fun times!

Here is a backyard track i found in a US site!

Nice soft grass for the marshals to stand on and it looks great, not like a dirt patch with a few plastic pipes laying on it!

This is how a track should look, the yanks finally did something right!

Brett.

Well it's done!

The old track in the backyard is gone.

This is the new track i made in the park out the back of the house.

Anyone want to come to Seaforth this weekend and have a fun run on my new track?

Call me on 0431313192 for directions.

Cheers, Brett.

Well, once you get to know Bormac, you'll know his two favorite expressions in the Whole world are:

1) Not poofs, Just mates

and

2) What are you talking about?? This shirt is Salmon, not Pink

[apologies to Tracey for the inference]

If you want to know how good a mate you have, a hand full of his wedding tackle will answer your question. LOL

Cheers, Brett.

Oh dear, I'm never sitting at that (council owned) bench again!

Better pursuade the minister for war and recreation to let me dig up the yard!

Nice vid Dal,

Damn youtube, compressed video quality sucks! Not picking on you, just wish youtube videos were better quality.

What onboard camera are you using? Bet it looked much better before the compression.

Cheers, Brett.

Thats a nice piece of dirt to play with Pete.

Can't wait to see the finished track. Have you got a shape in mind yet?

Cheers, Brett.
