Of course there will be arch's, engineers, consultants, etc. etc. What I'm trying to do here is nail down as many details as I can before I start paying everyone else.
Here's the hurdle now: I'm talking with people on two other boards and there seems to be interest in doing this, but no one knows about federal regulations. Actually, this won't be a private track - I will be making some cheese with it
Who knows what laws go into making a track aside from local zoning laws? We're talking the US, btw.
