|  New track in SE AZ I am trying to get as many people involved in forming a club in NE Tucson Oro Valley, Catalina, Oracle, San Manuel, Mammoth.... etc. We have a site selected and will be building a large track 1/8 size and 1/10 friendly. Track size will be approx. 110'x110' so we will need plenty of volunteers. Please post here if you are in this area and would like contact info. on when and where to help with the layout and building of this track. Last edited by EvanA; 11-10-2011 at 03:28 PM. |

We will be starting the build this weekend the 12th of Nov. so if you would like to come out and help please PM me here for directions. Last edited by EvanA; 02-02-2012 at 02:16 PM. |

| 1/2 way progress Here is the latest pic taken before most of the jumps were roughed in. We now have a couple more big jumps in place and are almost ready to start packing it in. Looking to have it useable Thanksgiving weekend.  Oh all this has been done by hand (wheelbarrel/shovel)... Last edited by EvanA; 02-02-2012 at 02:17 PM. Reason: wrong pics |

| Got the track to a usable state and ran both my Hyper 10 SC and my D8T. Got a few places to tweak but its gonna be a fun track. I will be out there after 1pm tomorrow to run with some locals but might also be out there Sun. if there is enough interest. Please check the facebook link for more updates and times to come practice, 2 post up. We do not have pipe in place yet, we need to get it fenced first, so if you don't mind running with just a chalk outline PM or check facebook for updates. It was just me running this afternoon so I couldn't get a video up, will try tomorrow. |

| Re: New track in SE AZ Just updating. The fence around the track was measured this morning and we should be fenced in next week, this means no more quads or bikes doing damage... Moving fwd with the pipe shortly after and should have a good 1/8 scale track to play on. |
