we've been running it counter clockwise (i posted a short video on the last page). all i ever really raced was oval, so it would feel weird going down a long straightaway and not turning left.

the sweeper isn't coming back. my yard slopes quite hard towards my neighbors house right there, and i'm not sure how runoff/drainage is gonna be. that's the reason behind taking it out. you have to remember that the grass isn't staying. it's gonna be mud when it rains.
i'm not giving anyone a reason to bitch.

Here is a short vid of my my backyard track. It needs more work but it is nice to have something to run on whenever I want.

Words of wisdom from the Cox bros at my local track.

Might be a little tough to see, but I added the switch back. Gonna have to trim that tree a little bit.
