Colorado Springs, near downtown, in my backyard.

racing around rocks instead of drainage tubing is not recommended,
but only proves the durability of the sc10 as i've had lots of wrecks
with no damage. i will post some vids eventually.....chas

Chaos that track looks pretty kewl and only in Colorado Springs hmm....lol...party at your house? lol

And for those who are complaining about the rocks...I never knew racing involved hugging the sidewall. It tis a shame that you won't be able to full bore into a turn and then bounce off the tubing and start off again....come on guys...

Nice track, if you carpet the jump with old carpet, you will maintain to have traction while jumping off it.
