I'm not sure of the exact dimensions...
But the track is fun. There were Mod electrics, MT's, Truggies, ect out there on Saturday. It may not be the most technical track but it's still a blast to run on. It's not a high traction "slick tire" type track. It's dirt and you need to run tires with some type of pin/studs on them. From early pics I didn't think the layout was much fun either...until I ran it. It definitely is fun and something different. The loose dirt makes for some fun racing and kicking up dirt roosters when you gas it. If anyone is interested in going and doesn't know how to get there I can meet people at the Devry/Lane Tech parking lot next Saturday and you can follow me. It's a 1 hour drive. Here's the full layout:  My FT T4

nice track but def built by a on roader...... wow 3-4 drop offs and some speed bumps. why cant some one around here build a track that flows? either its a flat track with speed bumps for jumps, or an obstacle course with a bunch of hazzards.

Looks like a relativly fast track made for 1/10 stadium trucks... not much air to be found.

I don't think you should make a final judgement on the place yet. They rushed to get it open for May 6th, and a lot of what was built is temporary is how I heard it. From what I heard they had about twenty different people really pushing to get something up and running for the 6th, and so they made it happen.
Being that you say it looks easy you should go to race and beat the pants off of all the other racers.  If a track is "easy", it's easy for all those racing, and inevitably the day of racing , and whether you win or not comes down to the skills of those racing, not the track. There is something to be said for having a different venue than a finely groomed blue grooved hard packed clay venue.

I think the owners should be applauded fort making an effort to provide adirt track for their loyal customers. It looks like a nice job. Bravo IRP for making the track upgrades.
