Run Off, if we take dirt from the sides of the track to build up jumps, we are going to need to shutter the edges of the track or build a mounded lip to keep the track on the track, this will trap the water on the track but will also keep the dirt on the track.

Jumps, again we will need to rebuild / repair All of the Jumps now that the rain has done its best to wash them flat, plus i feel that we will need to shutter each side of each ramp in order to prevent them being washed away and to keep maintenance/rebuilding to a minimum.

Fingers crossed for Sat so we can get some work done.
Once the dirt is packed it will not erode as bad, which is one of the main reasons we do it.
