Since I have three of these, thought it would be worthwhile to archive them here at Slotblog. Anybody have diagrams of the other AMRC tracks they can post?

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Wonder what happened to those original ones on eBay for $$$.

The Monarch looks like a fun track.

I'll second that, Ben! The 'Monarch' AKA "The Orange" is a fun track to run on. I've run everything up to and including Grp. 20 wing cars on them.

An orange is my favorite track of all, too.

We run on an original American orange as our club track. it is the deluxe model with orange formica sides. Still has the bump in the straight just before the lap counter.
We run flexis and Retros most every weekend during the winter months. Have run everything including Group 7s. The esses really make it a driver's track along with the bump and tight bank. Has narrower lane spacing. Makes courtesy a premium when passing.

We're thinking of building a smaller four-laner, so the Monarch sounds like a good design to follow. We'll be using 4" lane spacing if it goes ahead.

It's too bad that these are the only AMCR engineering prints that exist. I would love to see some of the original design documents!
