question about the TA03R chassis (rally related)

CarKing...hey! long time no type!

it rained a couple of days ago so we're waiting for it to dry out.

we're trying to figure out how best to lay out the perimeter to get lots of long straights and interesting high speed corners. once that's done it's weed wacker time. but...if the soils is still damp the weed wacker will end up making a mess so we gotta wait. i think today or tomorrow i'll connect the the perimeter since that's just trimming grass.

these pics took longer since the neighbor's house had an underground water leak and it flooded a part of the track, which is not a big deal since it's been about 100F lately.

after the track dried out we found that the bermuda and st.augustine grass is VERY robust in some parts and the runners didn't get cut by the weed wacker. so i think we'll have to let the cars do that.

the grass grew back really fast (coupled with the high heat here we have about 50-80% humidity) so here is the connected perimeter and some inner sections. we still need to get the cars on the track to make corrections in places were it's too narrow or the corner is too tight. we went through an adjustment phase with the last track, too.

the cool thing is that if we don't like a section we let the grass come back and re-cut.

the west end....

the middle....

the east end...

all of the east end....

the middle northern...

west from another angle...

mostly middle....

the west corner....

we still need to run the cars on the track and after that we'll widen or narrow or modify where we find we need to....

Very nice homemade track.

WRC Fellas,

is this thread officially dead?

I loved to read about the rally mods, but it has been very quite here for so long.
