I love what you guys are doing over there so far. 2:30 lap times, that's what I'm talking about. You have some nice rolling hills too.
You don't have to get too fancy. The big tracks like RedBud, Scenic or Area330 only needed a few obstacles. Let mother nature do the rest. Just prep it well and open the gates. You're also encouraged to use the Open Practice/Race forums to keep the riders informed. Best of luck!

I would agree with Chuck. You dont have to go big with jumps and gnarly obsticles if you have alot of natural elevation change which you do. Us old men (as in me not so much Chuck as I dont know your age..lol ) would prefer an old school MX track with the natural elevation change without the huge man made jumps. Dont get me wrong I like the Cliff but would love a change of pace.Make the track flow and keep it nice...as in prepping, watering etc....
I agree with what theyve said. And u already have an sx style track so u dont need another. Maybe some nice flowwing step ups, ski style downhills etc....
SX style track?? The video on facebook made it look like there were hardly any jumps and the ones that they do have are very natural looking like smith road. I would love to see some Red Bud/330 style large natural jumps with big safe landings.
Keep it open, good flow, you have so much potential don't try to do too much too fast. Focus on prep, drainage (plenty tracks seem to be either hard clay or muddy slop with too much water) that will keep people coming back....
Reading what some people on here have wrote, and in other post, people want a track like what Honda Hills was. In my eye Honda Hills was a track that made the better rider stand out. Was a lot of natural elevation which made it fun. Plus the track was great for people who just want to learn. I know your smaller track behind the building is good for at, but I'm lucky to get out of second gear on my 450. Simple is what I think a lot of people want.
Dont go nuts IMO. Read these posts
