For anyone who might be interested, we are going to plot out a dirt track for any fast dirt trucks; Short Course, Monster, Terra Buggy and maybe 1/8 scale (might be on the small side).
This will be the next to the most North Gtek parking lot right next to UPS.
These is a great patch of dirt there with no aggregate and decent shelter from the wind. Tons of good parking. Also this place will not be destroyed like Sierra Point was because you can't get a full size truck out there.
This coming Sunday, May 1st, we'll be scoping it out and nailing down some borders. Please, anyone who wants to help out feel free to post up or come out.
We're doing a simple plan at first with room to modify jumps and burms later. It's best to modify after the layout has a feel for obstacle locations.
Help will be scoping the track details and nailing down the borders. Tools for now are push brooms and hammers. A couple of shovels will help with cleaning the track surface of rocks.
We should be able to get something out there really quick and play.
Post up if you could help.
Thanks

Thanks for all the help "thumbsup".
Gtek North now has a decent SC course.
It was fun building it today, only took 1.25 hours and it's pretty damn good. Was fun as hell to run too.
The plan is to play Wednesday nights and some weekends, meanwhile track improvements will happen when it's the easiest. One jump, not pictured in the long straight away so far. Another jump and rhythm section will be nice. As time goes by there will be opportunities to expand. It's just too tough to cut the grassy weeds out.
Unlike Sierra Point, no a$$holes could destroy it with full size trucks. It's very low impact on the area and garbage doesn't seem to find it's way out there. The only concern is the local park system may have an issue but I don't think they are inspired to work beyond 5 feet of their trucks, so we should be good.

I should have my spur gear fixed by tonight.
I also got a rhythm section figured out but won't be done for tomorrow.

Anyone going out tomorrow? I'll be out there tomorrow but being its mothers day I'll be out there a little later probably around noon.
Did you guys do anything to the SC track last Wednesday? Should I pick up a pick ax so we can dig up some dirt to use for jumps and stuff?
My Slash is converted back to SC Truck so I'm ready to go!

I spent all day getting two old TA SC10 2wds running and swapping the motor and ESC in my Hyper10. But I gotta do the family thing tomorrow. I'll be back wednesday night for some SC. Unless I wake up really early to test my SCs tomorrow morning, doubtful tho.

Well as fast as we built this it shouldnt take long to expand it some. We need a weed wacker or something to clear out some of the grassy stuff then we can just open up some of the turns and stuff.

Wednesday nights at 5pm for around an hour.
Weekends are spotty on time.
We should be out there this weekend one day to expand the track. We'll try to figure out the expansion tonight.
