Done :-), number 5. And what a track it turned out to be. It was a little easy (maybe even a bit boaring)  making it, but dang, do I love driving on it.I tried to make a track where you wouldn't loose to much time when you make a mistake, so you could stay close together. And when you stay close together, i wanted lot's of passing maneuvres. I think i've succeded in that object.
The track is a copy of the racetrack i raced a 3-hour race on last weekend (8-16-2003). Of course it wasn't with monstertrucks, but with old cars that where stripped from every glass and plastic in it. The bitmap image is a picture taken there. More pictures you can see at http://users.pandora.be/mumhra/stockcar-nightrace/
As you can see at the pictures, the track surface was dirt. That means that at the start the surface was rather smooth, but at the finish it wa very bumpy. I couldn't decide if i should make the track smooth or bumpy, so i made 50% smooth, and 50% bumpy. Now the fun thing is, that irl we drove laps of 2.00 minutes at start, and 2.30 minutes at finish. At the mtm-track i managed to do a 2.15 minute lap. Ofcourse this time will drop, but that means that track distance is approx. the same here as in real life. Now you should try to imagine that you are driving on this track with 160 (!!!) cars at once at the starting line. To bad MTM2 can't hack this lol. Only 64 got the finish after a 3hour race tho. Of course not everything is the same. These monster trucks can get upto 110 mph, while in my fiat top speeds i could do at this track was 70 to 75 mph.

Thanks go out to Knarf, SLO_scrooch and OLD_lol_Evil for testing this track. Especially the last one gave me a very good feeling about this track (thnx ron :-) ) Also I'd like to thank the organizers of the crazy rallycross races irl. They will never read this tho lol.

Hope you enjoy this track. I know i do. Think it's one of my best so far.
