My Backyard Oval/Figure 8 track

Thanks....Ive been working on it trying to make it smoother. Also gonna put some pipes around the outside of it. Me and my nephew ran on it on Sunday and had a blast. Now if only I could get some of the guys out here into the oval thing it would be cool.

Great idea doing a figure 8. My wife has been trying to get me to turn mine into one.
I have a 150 ft Tri Oval in my backyard complete with drivers stand. It has 10-12 ft lanes also and is banked. Its packed clay but its a little loose after grooming. So far I have just used it as a practice track with my 1/10 scale cars and I plan on running RC 18 late models on weeknights when I get some lights up. I have run my 1/8 Nitro Late Model on it but its a little tight.
Here are some pics.

What kinds of cars/trucks do you run Figure 8...and how do you toughen them up enough to take the hits they're going to take?
Sounds like a blast.

I personally use a Losi XXXCR buggy converted to a Late model. I dont toughen anything up.....if it gets hit, I just fix it. Its really not that bad.
