    Similar to Kytt, I make a shape out of the track edge then extrude and push it.

    Similar to mianiak, but sometimes it's not best method for complex shapes.

    With complex shapes, another approach can be something like cloning track edge (make spline from it), make outer edge spline, connect all vertex of outer and inner edge with lines and apply surface modifier on it.

    As you can see, there are as many methods as there are modellers... :D

    Cheers!
