I've been thinking about this for many years.

We'd need some volunteers from all sides of the fence:

-Both TQ groups
-Equipment operators
-Fans
-Fair Board cooperation

We'd start with a track like this.

Flat. Hard to pass. Rough. Rockey. Old. Rusty.

Then, we'd...

-Dig out the infield
-Put up plywood sheets (painted with sponsors) around the guard rails, around the entire race track.
-Use a dirt sorting machine to classify all the rocks, bumpers, and tractor parts out
-Add some clay if needed
-Mix well
-Bank the race track. The turns won't really get any higher. The fact that the infield will be dug out, the turns will be banked
-Reset the corners. Physically make the corners hemi-spherical using a little measurement, some rope, and some of that black plastic drainage pipe instead of tires
-Prep the track

What we would end up with is this (or at least better than what we started with.....awesome TQ racing from New Zealand)):

So what say you?

MTQRL? UMRA? AMSA? Fellow racers? Rushville Fair Board?
