cant wait to see this finished. wish we were able to do that where we live. bbq parties ftw...

Aint been able to do much in the way of digging so far because of the weather and we're looking into hiring a turf cutter for the day as it would save us a lot of digging work.

you are best off hiring a turf cutter as it will save some effort digging. and drainage is a good point being british weather.

Good advice, dont be tempted to dig down to make a line, make sure everything is above ground level, even the dips in pump sections etc, otherwise it will fill up with water rather quickly. Are you thinking of any other drainage methods? ( Gravel / rocks under the soil etc?)

It looks like it's going to be brilliant though!

water ruts from the trough of the pumps/jumps/whatevers away to a lower area so it doesn't sit in a massive puddle making it unridable or ruining your dads lawn even more

just a sugestion but how about uing the grass and laying it on the side so it kind of looks like this years empire of dirt track
but nice progress should turn out good wish my parents would let me do something like that

thats going to be so good. your parents are awesome!!!
