Here are 3 pics to get you started:

2/3 of the pits


The track with my crude drawing of the actual course they ran. Its a circle track that cuts through the infield at turn 3.


The truck that Aaron can't seem to keep in 1 piece

Nice Pics!

Your little red line should go left a little, on the left side.

I fixed it, look better now?

I also have a short video that my wife took with the camera of the truck hitting the one decent jump that will be up in a few.

Sorry, I need to learn to be less critical, It looked great the first time, and even better now.
It would of taken me a week to fix that!

The only issue is I don't have a decent mouse hooked up to my laptop, I need a new one. I had to redraw that line like 12 times before it looked like that at it still looks mediocre. The video has been uploaded to youtube and is being processed. Once its ready I'll post a link. It will take me a little more time to prep the camcorder version.

As promised, here is the video. Aaron is the first truck, followed by the blue CJ that was on his butt the entire time and then ended up winning the first heat after Aaron handed him the win . The third orange truck ended up taking the first place trophy at the end of the night.

Also notice that Ray's truck is the only one that doesn't nose dive off the jump. It flies nice and straight.

The wife who took this shot thinks that this was Aaron's last lap as it were which would mean that it was probably on this landing that he took out the front driveshaft
