+ | ====== Build a Track ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You need barriers to keep the racers and the crowd separated. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Things we have used: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Tires | ||
+ | * Straw Bales | ||
+ | * Highway Barriers (filled with water) | ||
+ | * Plastic Totes (filled with water) | ||
+ | |||
+ | If using tires or straw bales you can rope them together. Same with plastic totes. The highway barriers typically lock together with connector pieces. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What you decide to build your track with depends on time, money, and availability. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For all of these, it's recommended to encircle the crowd-facing areas with bike rack fencing to keep the crowd back more. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Notes to follow about advantages and disadvantages of each method.... | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | How many X do you need for a decent size track? | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Tires (approx 400 to 500) | ||
+ | * Straw Bales (approx 300) | ||
