Hi Harv...neat track.
The crossover of lanes looks like it has had some careful work...some darker edge,solder maybe?

You guys aren't turning into Europeans and going mad on rally are you?

Loved the vid.

Thanks John! Nope, it's a Proxy event you can see the rules HERE

It's more like an autocross than anything else but I had just bought this little Ninco and had to tune on it because it was so slow out of the box. Had too much motor for this little 2'X4' track and only 17' 4" long. My fast stuff goes sub-3 seconds on this and jet. Check out the fun! Coffee table tracks and lap counters make it fun to race your friends and simple!

Don't know if you saw this but this Revell 550 Porsche is going to be my entry car with a brass and wire scratch chassis.

Oh the black things your seeing are the slots for the tape to go under the track at the crossovers and they get wired under.

Just getting all the pieces together for 3 different motors. I just got my new Pittman arm back in the mail today.... shaft ground down to .078" so I can use good ARP pinions. My 26D rewound arm is coming and soon I'll have 3-4 cars to test. This car/SLOP track is for another Proxy race I'm getting into with a 2.60"wb scratch chassis that is 2 1/4" track width.

Here are pics of my SLOP Proxy event track... LOST PATROL!
In this Proxy you had to build a small car to fit into 2 3/8 wide x 4 5/8 long box.... You have to build a single lane track as well...
The track is limited also .... Track area limited to 9 square feet. 2x4, 3x3 or L, T shapes are accepted.
There are a bunch of great tracks all different themes from parking lot autocross, rally, icy snow, parks etc..

It's a cross of, my brain on slots, Twilight Zone and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest!

Here are pics of my SLOP car entry. I'm not happy with the way the rear flares, general body work or paint came out but.... Palm Frond Camo to go with the track.
