I have been thinking lately about building a backyard track since I just purchased enough land to do so. I have not seen a thread showing pictures of your backyard test grounds. So if you have one Lets see them!!

I like it Reg. If it was not for the winter hats I would think that was Florida! Loose dirt and pine trees everywhere :lol:

Here ya go...

The first 2 pics were the config for the '07 Tn State champs.

The others were during construction of the big layout. I started with a smaller footprint and it got expanded to this.

Sadly not "MY" back yard, but some friends constructed this little gem in their back yard. I've raced at this facility and its AMAZING. The surface is awesome, the hosts are always generous and fun time always follows.

Timezone Raceway I Outdoor onroad track. ( They recently built a 2nd track that is an indoor carpet track which is hosting this years 2011 ROAR Carpet Nat's March 24, 2011 - March 27, 2011) http://www.timezoneracing.com

Here is the track dubbed La-Center Seca.
