Broke ground earlier this week on my backyard track!

Building a 50x20 track in my backyard for 80's/90's buggies.

I'd like to pick some of your brains about outdoor track design.

I'm shooting for a smooth, flat surface with only few small jumps and natural lane barriers.


Any tips for a Dad who wants a relatively low maintanence fun track for Grasshopper/Lunchbox type cars?

Also, is there a cheap timing or manual timing system?

Thanks!

Something that can make for really interesting racing & makes for really good watching. Is to add in a split lane option with at least one corner & make them slightly different. So it makes it impossible to run side by side the whole way around the track & it brings strategy into the race winning equation.

Q: Will it work in bright sunlight?

A: Sunlight does not cause any problems, nor do artificial light sources such as incandescent, fluorescent, or industrial lighting. The transponder signal is strong and modulated so the sensors can detect it even with other light sources present.

One of the tracks I race at uses I-Laps.

They mounted a rain gutter upside down and have had no problem with scoring results.

Need a clear windshield so LED can shine out.

That track is awesome. Where in Florida is it?
