    This is not a sponsored video. Just used this pump to dewater the clay karting track over many weeks with 3" suction and discharge hoses.

    my basement flooded back in 2013 & I was able to find a cheap pump from a place like harbour freight AND IT SAVED MY FOUNDATION!
    I also pumped out my neighbors basement. the pump & accessories are still in the garage to this day just waiting for another flood.

      It's going to be a while before we can start resurfacing the track. The clay is hyper-saturated and would be a horrible idea to even try and put equipment on it. It would be buried instantly.

    The clay track would be an awesome area to run some RC's. It's getting harder to find good venues for 1/10 dirt oval and outdoor offroad. Maybe get some lap counting equipment and run dirt oval with 1/10 and 1/8 offroad in the infield utilizing some of the oval as part of the offroad track. 3" drainage pipe is easy to come by move around too.

    Good you're getting out all of that water now , while it's still liquid . Once the temperatures start to plummet the ground water will become frozen and unworkable . Unfortunately when the groundwater gets cold and solid that clay will be like concrete . The one thing that will still be doable is vegetation removal . A permanent sump system would be nice but that would require piped in electricity and a large discharge pipe which costs lots of money .

    • @Greenlightfilming
      @Greenlightfilming  11 місяців тому +1

      I agree, that with things starting to take shape there's more and more interest from the karting and lawn mower racing community. We are doing everything necessary to manage expectations, as this will be a long process to get back into shape. It's something we simply don't have unlimited resources for like may be the case in some other situations.
      That being said, we will work very hard at getting this track back in usable shape next year and re-open in some capacity.

    @ldnwholesale8552 11 місяців тому

    Having watched some of your early videos re this track you have done a LOT of work and clearly a lot of time and money as well.Looks a great deal better.
    The dirt track? What you need is to make a drain from the lowest point to a lower point below the track,, obvious. A big sump filled with crushed rock and then a pipe or a big trench and just fill it was cruched rock, the water will find its way through. So either get a hole bored then feed 8" PVC pipe into it or just backhoe a trench 18" wide, plenty of crushed rock then fill back over. Then you will have a nice little kart dirt oval.
    I doubt you will ever get rich on the place, but as a apying hobby you should do ok.
    Probably the obvious. Tyre walls in front of the concrete and further away purely as a wall you can make by 'wiring' to gether the tyres through holes in the walls to hold them together. I have seen it done using 5/16 rod, and a tool made to twitch it all together. Tyres are cheap,, tyre services will give them to you, probably pay you to take them. But you need similar size tyres and bigger sizes, full size passenger or SUV 4wd tyres. And not tyres with exposed wire.
    Since I am in Oz a little far to come help or even just supply tyres.
