Are you talkig about the S bend before the run in to the log double/hip?

My initial idea for that corner was to have a reasonably fast railing bermed S bend. I wanted the fastest line to be around the berm, not just cutting the corner. But when we started building it, I wasnt completely happy with the line. Might have to do some re-alignment.

Anything which you deem neccesary.

The basic plan at the moment is getting the entire track all nicely flattened out and fully cleared.

We are currently sorting out a digger and some dirt too, so watch this space for future digs.
