Thats mint track if only i could do smothing like that I made mine out of sand and looks crap next to yours. How much did the pvc tubing cost and what surface is that. Check out my one at Perth rc race track.

That layout is amazing I would love to do somthing like that in my back yard I have the space I just need about 100+gallons of roundup to kill all the weeds.
and then get in a few loads of dirt..
this might just be the motivation I need to get off my A$$ and do somthing about it.
It would be great to walk out the back door and have a sweet track begging you to come drive on it..
Nice work M8.

The track is mostly made of clay as thats what I have in my yard. As far as the tube I probably have $600 into the tube and the stuff to stake it down. If you what tube shop around because prices vary greatly, don't buy it from home depot!

It drains almost perfectly. I have several drain tubes buried in the track and the base is built on a slight angle to allow the track to easily drain.

Michigan? Just in time for snow season?
Seriously, you need to put up borders, a fence, parking and pits, and charge admission. Nice work!
