Aahz ,Hi, I live in Manchester ,UK , 
it rains here lots.
rain is not the biggest problem.
I`ve attached some pics of damage to track from a 50-60 pound tank (up to now) I 
seem to remember your tank will be 200 pound range.
The damage I`ve sustained may not look much but basicly I`ve been up and down my 
drive a few times.
If your going to use wood use some good stuff. I`m switching to metal ( for outer 
track parts at least).
best of luck.
