Default Home made track

This probably is not the most usual topic, but here goes.
Due to a lot of travelling with work and spending time with the kids, I did not get enough tracktime with my buggys.

Lucky for me me parents wanted to help and my father started to build a track in their "backyard".(2.minute to drive from my house)

The surface is grass and is rather bumpy, but good for training.
I`m working with differents layouts and will post diffrent videos of the track.

What do you guys think.
(sorry about the bad quality)

heres video from first layout:

Looking good there!!! any practice is good practice!
Put a downslope on the crossover and that will make a real difference.

Heres videos of todays testing in wet conditions.
It was very slippery, the rain was pooring down and my converted 501/201x struggled to get rear grip, so i had to take it very slow.

I really like the layout now and think i will leave it like this for a while.
