Ur safe, those are communication lines, the upper ones are the danger!!
Nice jump BTW.
Maybe move the ramp closer to the end of the road so as not to hit the lines? I know, silly idea!! LOL
Send it

Oh it’s been between them on dry days!

So uh, what's "with snow" weight? Alot!!

Does anyone run these DU racing 7075 towers? I want to trial a custom wing mount and my blx tower is drilled out to 5mm

Spring is here finally

 

[Garcbomber]

Enjoying the view, but we need some rain so the kids can actually be down on the track.

 

[Garcbomber]

These DU racing towers are the real deal, 7075 with 9mm thick on the additional bracing.

Fresh 20M in the center,

Threw a pack in after work and went mental since we had fresh rain and excellent track grip.

Track layout revision in progress, picking up a few hundred feet of 6” drain pipe this weekend.

I promised myself I’d stick to buggies for at least one more year, trying to keep planes/drones/snowmobile RCs out of sight and mind!

Literally chipping away with a pickaxe, shovel transfer, and garden rake. Too steep of a decline to get a tractor down there. Supposed to rain the next couple of days finally, hopefully be packed down to lay/stake down some pipe. Doesn’t look like much was done, but the banks are better for the kid’s smaller scale and second jump is in. Will put plywood triangles on both downslope sides to contain.

300’ of 5” drain pipe cut and laid, just need to tie down and stake. 48” landscape rake has been a back saver.

Looks great!! I wish a landscape rake could help my cause.. nothing short of a tractor and discs can smooth the clay I've got here. Hard as concrete once dry. LOL

Around the trees is essentially clay, if I have any irregularities it’s back to the pickaxe and tamper.

Can't wait to see some track vids!!
Yes, good call with the pickaxe.. even a splitting maul works pretty well at breaking the clay up..
Guess I'm just being lazy.

Couple one-handed laps on the staked lane layout

Need another hundred feet for the outside Talladega boundary
