So we're closing on a house in Rehoboth at the end of the month. There's a house there, and a big ass barn on 2 acres. I had a preliminary look at building a flat track but the expense, equipment, and maintenance is completely unrealistic. So here's the plan:
Build a TT track for minis. The buildings take up very little space on the property and I pretty much have an open acre at the back of the property that's fair game.
I have the septic guy coming back in April to spread loam for his site work, he says he'll give me as much fill dirt as I want since he's constantly removing it and not needing it. He'll have his dozer there at the time and for a few hundo he'll cut in the track and mound up anywhere I want for jumps.
I'm thinking of keeping it pretty simple with just bermed corners and table tops. After I get the layout cut in by the dozer, I have access to a free bobcat to do the finer site work with. There is also already a water line run underground close to where the track will go so I could potentially set up a sprinkler system to keep the dust down.
CONTEST TIME!
I'd love to see your ideas of track layout. For all intents and purposes, the area is flat and about a 200x350' rectangle to work with. Sketch it out on a piece of paper and post it!
The other thing I want to do is build some enduro-cross obstacles to mess around on. I have a number of VW sized rocks and can have them moved around when the dozer is there. I'd like to set up the obstacles in the infield area of the track. There's a good amount of downed trees I can utilize, and I'm sure Kurtz will be happy to donate shagged out track rubber to make some tire obstacles.
If anyone wants to have some hands on with the project, we close on the 29th and I'll be starting preliminary layout directly following.
