I added a Stainless steel facia and started building a skirt out of bags I get at San Diego ComicCon every year.

I started using some white PVC board to make walls behind the rails then started laying out a pit lane. this was strictly because I had no idea how to do landscaping and wanted to do less.

The same PVC board was used to make a face of the pit stalls.

Then I stapled some screen door screen into the gaps, covered it in plaster cloth and glues the grass powder in. this was waaaaay easier than I thought.

I made some changes to the cliffs because it felt too much like a wall.
