It won't be too long before spring is here and I must mark out an area in the farm field for the 2008 off-road track layout. In 2007, the track was close to my pine trees -- in 2008 I want to shift it over a bit so I can be more agressive on the weed control without killing trees.
Last year's layout with 8-foot lanes fit in an area 50 feet wide and 32 feet deep on the left and 42 feet deep on the right if you look at the attachment. There were no elevation changes -- I am not equipped at the moment for much building of jumps and elevation changes. I thought I made pretty good use of that space last year (many different turning angles, kink in the straight to make it a close call, so it was kind of fun), but I am trying to figure out a bigger layout for this year.
When I try to design a bigger layout, I get kind of lost -- I know there is the traditional back straight, but then all the rest of my design just gets kind of lost and without purpose. If anyone has some good layout suggestions, I would love to see them -- either rectangular area with pipes or even some grass infield.
