you have to make a huge tripple! at least one! and make sure it has a long straight before it so you can get a lot of air. definatly put a raised corner, and a really big jump for the start/ finish... try to avoid trees, my track is in the woods (i live in the woods, so this was hard to avoid) because trees can do a LOT of damage to front suspension part and (supprisingly) gear covers... just make lots of jumps and bumps and such. you should just start piling up dirt and make up ideas as you go! have fun!

A triple is 3 consecutive jumps sort of like _/\/\/\__.
A double is the same excpept with 2 and a single has one.
Personally, I like tracks that have one long straight and several twists and turns. A single into a hairpin is always dificult, cause if you cathch too much air you miss the track. But whatevr youy like. If you like big air build long straights with doubles and triples. If you like tight tracks, do that.
Edit: Ot takes a bit of time to do, but you could put in a banked curve, and if it leads into a long straight, it can be a great spot for passing, because you can make up a lot of ground.

The only problem with big jumps is if you mess up you land hard. O have a 3 foot high step down and its alittle to big as it is. if you nose dive like I have a couple of times you break front suspension part. I put banked coners in most of my coners because they keep the track fast. They make it alot easier to take a coner fast and still have control. A good double like 2-2and a half feet tall is usally pretty good.But don't forgot to have room to slow down and turn. You have a pretty good size piece of land(mine is roughly the same) but its not tha big once you get going. I just extended my track to 90 feet long and 40 wide and when I look at it its not that big. And don't forget the width of the lane. It needs to be at least 6+ feet. I have raced on 5 feet wide but its wicked hard to pass.
