i like it mike, get started on the most important part, the drivers stand!

He has a drivers stand already!!! You dont see those cinder blocks stacked up in the picture... Of course its only good for one driver. LOL.

This track will be BYOB (bring your own blocks)(or beer) If you bring him beer Mike might let you his cinder blocks.



Lookin sweet Mike!!!! If you are looking for low dollar drivers stand option you could always grab a couple of those collapsible scaffolding things like Dom has in his van at the parking lot.

Drivers stands- they mock me. The only track in MN with a handicapped accessible drivers stand closed several years ago. It was a sweet indoor offroad track. R.I.P. Twin Cities Hobby and Raceway

I am still contemplating driver's stand ideas. The problem is that the stand location ideally is in the middle of the yard, so a portable stand would be best, though it also needs to be steady. In my mind, the stand would have a drive-up ramp to a driver accessible pit area for battery swaps, etc. from the driver stand(driver does his own pit stops). Shade from the sun(sun will be behind the driver) would be ideal as well.
So, making a steady, shaded, driver-pittable, and movable stand is the goal - not so easy, unfortunately. I will keep mulling it over while i build out the track.
And Harold - I won't allow the stand to mock you if you ever roll into my neighborhood and use the track - maybe we can make up/fabricate some kind of a wheelchair stand that you can anchor to - we can put it in the bucket of the tractor and lift you to your desired height! Just be nice and don't yell at the marshalls while you are up there or it may be a long night!

Man Mike that is a huge list of expectations for a drivers stand, and portable too. From your list it would seem that the best way to start out is by using a mobile trailer to build on. Maybe one of those two ton dual wheeled type haulers. That way once it is all done you can move it anywhere you want with a toe hitch. Maybe put some outriggers on it for stability no matter where you park it.

That would be funny to see Harold up on his own stand yelling at everyone. If he acts up too much you could just leave him up there when the sun goes down. Or if he is driving really well just lower his stand. ha ha ha ha.

I invisage Harold wanting to change his stand location on a regular basis. While he's still in it of course
