Could it be shortened to fit in a 22' space?

Not without some significant work, Eddie.

Looking at it, not easily shortened.
Three of the four straights, maybe.
That inside one, with the jog out, would most likely need to totally removed and a new, less subtle piece, cut.

That's what it looked like to me, too.

I've raced at HMS many times and I always drooled over that track! It is one very nice track. I first saw it after I built my own four-lane basement track and if I had seen it before I built mine I would have been begging Kit and Cap to sell me that track. Whoever buys this track will love it. It's a gem. (:

It looks like a good track to race on, fast and all lanes pretty even.

I like it!
A great track for anyone who wants to test and tune at home for a big Retro or Flexi race. Also looks like a really fun track to race on.
I do have one question, why are the drivers stations split up. Is it because of the pole or visibility somewhere else on the track?

The drivers stations were that way when we got the track, though we did move the one further down due to the pole for site lines.
Originally The Drivers panels were at the short shoot and you watched your car drive in to the bank and then back at you.
The story goes the track was designed to where the bank went into an opening in a wall and back at you.

That fits so perfectly in the space it seems a shame to move that just for the aesthetics!

It's already down and in storage, yes it fit there very well, though we brought in and restored another American original Monarch "Orange" from the Slot Shop in Elyria
We now have three original Americans and a lead on a fourth Just can't decide if I'm up to doing another one.

Have you sold your track? It has been some time so I assume it is gone by now.
