Looks like a cool track. I still don't understand why all the tracks nowadays insist on having ridiculously high, car breaking jumps? At least for 1/10th scale anyway.

1 letter and 1 word... X Games. :roll:

(Although I do like the X games. On the bright side 85% of r/c hobbyists would kill to race on ANY track. They're just not readily available to a lot of people. Especially if you don't have a license yet.

How about the newbies when they crash and burn, do they return or do you never see them again? There is always a risk when you build a track for experience drivers that you scare away the newbies with no budget except their parents…

parts sales make a hobby shop. They don't make squat on kits or rtr vs what they sell in parts. You put a car breaker jump in there and its fun for most of them and whammo parts sales go up...

That is so true! But no hobby shop had any part in building that track, it's private!
