My track is...

nerd.gif  94 running feet and takes up 12' x 24' of my basement.
nerd.gif  1/24" scale old school wood track with 4.5" lane spacing. 
nerd.gif  The gutter lanes have 6.75" to the wall so you have plenty of room for drifting.
nerd.gif  Powered with a 45 amp Power Source power supply and a deep cycle battery just for good measure. It runs about 13.8 volts.
nerd.gif  Controlled by an SRT timing system.

I have not run faster then 3.1 seconds but I have had others run a 3.0. Is there any more joy in life then to have SOMEONE else hold the track fast lap time?

We run:

  • 4" stamp steel flexi chassis
  • Parma FCR brass chassis
  • 1/32 Slot.it and NSR
  • BRM bodies with H&R Racing chassis

Looks great. Did you build the track?

Hi Ray,

 

Ross bought his track and it is a very nice, smooth, fast, fun track to run on. I've raced on it many times.

Ross,

Could you send me a list of houses for sale in your area? :)

I spent TWO years watching many forums, looked at many tracks until this one came up in Traverse City, MI. It was a ten-hour drive and it was all apart. I think that was breaking rule #1 in buying a track...

It was a snowy day after Christmas I picked up a U-Haul trailer, loaded it up, and drove ten hours back home. After about 60 hours I had it back together, re-braided the joints, and wired it all up. Everything went fine. Just after New Years my Christmas present was running.

We race two to three times a month now.

We recently had our Three Year Three Hour anniversary race.
