My mom’s family has owned this piece of land since the late 1800s; it’s now (mostly) hers and she’s really itching to start doing something with the land for our family to be able to enjoy on the weekend. Had a conversation this weekend and, lo and behold, my grand master plan to cut a rallycross course into our property has been approved. The hunt for a beater Subaru has begun!
Ergo, if anyone is interested in helping me brainstorm how to design a track for the property, I would appreciate any input! I’m thinking a mini-Le Mans replica around the perimeter of field 2 for now; we still have someone farming a little bit to keep our ag exemptions, but we’re going to let that lapse sooner than later.
Also, if anyone has any thoughts on physically cutting/grading the track into the property, that would be great. I’m thinking one weekend this fall I’m going to rent a bobcat and move some dirt around and see what happens; I’ll need to bring in outside fill gravel or something at some point, but we’re taking baby steps here. For drainage reasons I’m thinking I should make the course proud of/crowned on the surrounding dirt, not cut the track into and below the existing property level, although that also sounds like more work
