| I decided in the middle of November to enter the SX contest.  I          |
| worked alone for a couple of weeks.  I played with different jump        |
| combinations and stadium configurations.  I finally decided on one       |
| and then converted the SX track to a displacement map using ASCEdit.     |
| I roughed up some textures and started to test the track.  I am so       |
| used to working with others and having other people test and give        |
| feedback.  I really missed that with this one.  Near the end of          |
| November Randall (AMA_Pop455) posted a message on the Twisted D.I.R.T.   |
| forum that he wasn't going to be entering the contest.                   |
|                                                                          |
| I quickly contacted him about having him and Justin (AMA_Kip66) help     |
| out with this track.  I gave him a copy of it and he agreed to help.     |
| We test rode it many times and discussed the jumps and turns.  The       |
| section from the start to the stepup camel top jump was reworked         |
| extensively and the straight with the big quad was reworked   A good     |
| deal of time was spent reworking the table top following the whoops.     |
|                                                                          |
| This track has probably been tested and tweaked more then any other      |
| track that we have been involved with.                                   |
|                                                                          |
| Around the 4th of December we finalized the track and moved on to the    |
| next phase where Kip's Kreations worked their magic.  We spent a good    |
| deal of time discussing two things.  One was how the hay bales should    |
| be done and how to make dozer tracks.  We figured out a technique that   |
| would allow the hay bales to follow the terrain while minimizing the     |
| effort to do them.  The technique that was settled on is basically       |
| the same technique used to make Nationals on hills.                      |
|                                                                          |
| Justin came up with the technique to do the dozer tracks.  I think       |
| they turned out quite well and add a lot to the track.  They             |
| worked many many hours on the textures.  Randall actually did the        |
| hard work of actually doing the hay bales and the dozer tracks and       |
| perfecting the technique.                                                |
|                                                                          |
| Justin roughed out the basic textures many times and after trying        |
| about 20 we agreed on the ones that we actually used. Justin also did    |
| the awesome Sky Cube, the crowds in the stands, and the banners.  It     |
| is another skycube based on a sky from UnReal.  He did an amazing job    |
| working it in with the city.                                             |
|                                                                          |
| We were glad when the date for the submission was moved to Jan 9th.      |
| The Kip's were really working hard and trying to finish the textures.    |
| It was tough work and they needed the breather.  We then took a          |
| break over Christmas and this last week was spent tweaking the           |
| details.                                                                 |
|                                                                          |
| This track is a real team effort with all three of us contributing       |
| considerably.  I hope the MCM community enjoys this track as much        |
| as we have making it.                                                    |
