My track is for sale. The footprint is 12’ x 30’, it has six lanes with 4” lane spacing. Average lap length is 101’-6”. It comes with LapMaster counting/timing system, Volteq HY1550EX variable voltage power pack, two 55” monitors, Slot Car Corner driver panels with XLRs and controller hook-up posts, six 1/24 Champion TurboFlex chassis house cars, and seven Trinity controllers. You’ll need to get a computer with at least Windows 7; I need to keep mine because my CAD System is on it. I tried to use all the best components availble.

 

When I designed this track, I wanted it to be big enough for a commercial raceway and yet small enough for a lot of basements and garages. I also wanted enough lanes for a commercial raceway but not so many it is hard for turn marshals to reach all the way across the track. I wanted it to be challenging but not so technical it wasn’t fun to drive. I wanted a Hillclimb so I could squeeze as much running surface in as possible and it could be pushed up against the wall and marshaled from the inside. I wanted it on wheels so I could move it in case I needed to work on the back side and I could clean under it. I made it 4” lane spacing so I could run either 1/32 or 1/24 cars. It was built in 2020. 

 

Here’s a LINK to how it was built.

 

$12,000 and I wouldn't build another one like it for twice that. Send a PM if interested.

Are you going to build yourself another track or are you taking a step back from slot cars? I recall all the construction photos of this track that were posted on HRW.

A beautiful, well thought-out and executed track design. Almost looks like it could be managed with just four corner marshals, unless I was running on it.

 

Well done!
