I would definitely make sure you have the friends that will race on it before you start to do anything. I built my track last year in January because of a few friends had been pushing me to do it for a couple years. Then after I built it a couple of them never even showed up to run on it. I know it's not a real nice track but it was the best I could do for my first time trying it with limited equipment.

I just took a backhoe and cleared the area off first. Then I created a slight downward backside to help the water not to pool up. After that I just made the jumps by hand and went from there.

Here are some pics of when I first cleared it off:







Then some pics from after I got the track smoothed out some and ran on it:





It took quite a bit of time doing ALL the work by myself. But at least I have a place to run at in my backyard now. It's nice not having to drive 2 or more hours one way just to burn a tank of nitro......
