I agree, the layout nitro proposed will yield low to mid 20 second laps - it is a nice little sketch for sure, though. My goal is to make it very challenging and as "big" as possible given the dimensions available.

I had a tube from an aluminum delivery that was 6.5ft that i used to sketch out the lanes....this is a bit too narrow for most of the track as Ross mentioned. I may have a tight chicane area that is around this width but the straight and any decent sized jumps will be best served with 8ft lanes based on my initial walk around. There are also a couple areas that can be "stretched' in between some trees to gain some track area. I will take a few pictures of the track area and post them later today - the area is smoothed off pretty well now and I hope to get some kind of a layout finalized this week, weather permitting.

Ross....I am looking forward to any sketch or proposed layout you can come up with - I will try to call you some time later today as well to talk about the track surface and layout, as i know you have done a lot of track work. thanks for popping in on this thread, too. :)
