This week for my project its been all repair. Unfortunatly my Dad has been clearing out some trees that happened to be beside my track. He messed up the far side little straight and the 2 turns that are there with it. So, I had to fix them to back how they were before.
So what I've done is level out the back part of the track where it got messed up and rebuilt the sloped turns. leveling out the ground was the easy part, all I had to do was take a rake and get all the loose dirt back flat. Also I tried to get the ground the get somewhat hard again. So I packed the dirt down to the best I could. Then came the hard part, rebuilding the sloped turns. You see before I had a big dirt pile there so all I had to do was just dig up a piece with the skid loader, but this time I had to make it without anything behind it for support, and on a slight hill. What I had to do was first, pile up some dirt so that I would have a start to the slope. Then, I had to make some kind of support behind it so that it wouldn't just wash away.So, I got the shovel and dug up some dirt behind the turn to where it was kinda like a little trench behind it. The dirt I dug up for that I threw onto the slope and packed it down real good so it would stiffen up.
