4'x20' HO four-lane built by Willy in Riverside, CA

 

Track is 5 inches shorter than the garage. Installed some shade curtains to reduce reflections on the track.\

 

First race soon.

beautiful track.................good luck

Looks like a nice combination of speed and technical. The far end looks brutal in a most admirable way. I bet lots of races are going to be won or lost in that section. Good luck.

Super clean track. I am a little concerned you do not have any junk in you garage. Its so tidy. Looks like a fun place to race, enjoy.

 

Another concern, when it rains hard how does the water not run into the garage. I do not see any drainage at the bottom of your driveway.

Thanks. A simple two-car garage with a plastic floor, good lights and a mini split.
There is a deep swale before the garage that directs the surface water around the garage.

I have a basic detached eight-car garage for the full-size cars.
The big garage had an eight-lane 1/24 Hillclimb years ago.



The full-size race car.

 

 
This was the four-lane 4'x16' HO track we just replaced.



Both tracks are Viper game changers, comes with three pieces of track to permit four configurations.

That's what I need!

you chose the right controller brand for the track but why just 2 wires for the house controllers? Did you make those controller holders yourself are buy them? Maybe post a close up picture of them to see how they are built?

Hi Jim, as you know the 2 wire is a nice entry level IROC controller for new racers that have no experience with an adjustable controller.

I do have one of your 2 pot adjustable 3 wire controller, is that what you would recommend for a house controller?

The controller holders are standard Viper but side mounted and not hanging on the track as designed.

 

Yesterday we raced for 7.5 hours and tried several controllers. Now that I have a little more experience with a choke controller it is my preference.

HO best track builder on the west coast might be Willy Musgrave at MRC.

He makes a quality steel table with track rails glued perfectly.

Very nice clean set up!

My buddy Gene did some upgrades to my M-Magic S wiperless controller.

Dyed it orange, added new knobs, moved switches and some other new parts to add reliability.
