Cool Track Set up for Racing! Learning to Race!

Hey guys,

Can you please give me an outlay or setup of a racing track so that I can get better at racing. I will build this all in my back yard. My backyard is huge... Couple of acres, so size isn't a worry.

So if you guys could draw something up and attach it to your post. That would be awesome.

P.S: I got told that a basic track is 6 foot wide and what ever you want in length.


Thanks guys.

Perhaps you could use the forum "search" panel , I'm sure you will pull up some presumably off road pictures . Google is your best friend for track pics, I've found a large number for the onroad track I'm building.

...not long ago you were asking if you can make money for racing, so if you're that good, do you need a track to practice on? You seem very enthusiastic which is good, but as fleetmaster said, searching the forums is your best bet.

Mate as it appears your starting out, half fill a few 2ltr bottles with water. Starting with 2 place them apart far enough so as to make figure 8s. This will help with steering the car away from you, and then at you.
Add a 3rd bottle, and practice that. This may sound boring, but the better you get the closer to the bottles you can get with out hitting them.

After your bored with that you'll have your own ideas on track layouts.

If you live close enough to a club track, join it. Running on your own will have no real bearing on how fast you get if you have no one to judge against.
