Um i have had this though running through my mind for a while, i have a big hill on my farm, a tractor/front end loader and a big truck. I know that these sort of things can cost alot of time and money but i have acess to dirt and i have th machinery.
I drew this earlier, keep in mind it is not a begginers course,
what do you think?

I'll hava agree with Jay there.. i'll help out if need be too
build a replica of the hell track on your hill :shock: and have the 4x track goin through it
Looks like a nice track (well as far as one could tell from a diagram).
That's a pretty nicely drawn diagram too actually.
screw you and your art skill!! :P
Looks like a sick track and it is possible that it could be built...if we had land.
CLubs would almost certainly aproach you or accept an offer if you approached them for a race.
If, somehow it does get started i'll be there to help and mum (who is a landscap designer) could put us in touch with laborers and excavators (bobcats, dingoes, bulldozers etc) if we needed it.
Smooth... looks good. Im no expert with 4x tracks but how about copying a world cup track! Would be pretty rad.

The design looks pretty cool man. You are going to need some serious time on your hands to build it as you've drawn. You would need to allow about two weeks full time for two or three people, using earth moving machinery. Where are you planning to build it? By the way, good graphix skills. If you want any more feedback as the project gets happening, you can email if you want: info@4XFEVA.com Go for it dude.

Um about 30 minutes out of daylesford on my farm, so its bout 1.5 hours drive from eastern suburbs, and i have already emailed you
just looking at it again it looks pretty bloody long aswell.
Maybe for ease of building and to cut the time down it may be worth cutting out a section (ie moguls) or another section.
Again, if it get's the go ahead let me know and i'd hapily spend weekends helping.

Both my hands are up to help! If actually construction, ie. jump substructure, is needed....i'm happy to help with that too! But it is a big project!! It's a camping working holiday to get it done!

Thats long in our view though, if you have seen any overseas footage alot of the tracks in the UK?US and some world cup tracks are a lot longer than our usual ones, its better to build it longer and be able to cut it down/move stuff around than to build it shorter and make it longer.
