A few months back there was a 4 lane 87' routed track listed for sale in Ohio.  I know it was sold but I was hoping to take a look at the design again and maybe get in touch with the track builder, but unfortunately the post is gone now that it is sold.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance.

Was that "Pappy", Butch Dunaway?   He'll see this post.

Hi John,

 

Yes, the post is gone, I don't know why. I tried to get Cheater to find it but he either couldn't or forgot to try. My wife thinks she has one on her phone and I'll let you know if she does.

 

I see you are in Fenton, Michigan. I'll be there for the MIchigan 24 at the end of April. Do you race at Clover Leaf?

I've raced at Clover Leaf in the past and even survived a Michigan 24, years ago.  I've kind of been out of the hobby for a few years while I've been running my son from sporting event to sporting event (Football-Wrestling-Basketball-Baseball) and working.  I also lost the space for my home tracks when it was converted to a work out room for all those sports listed above.  :dash2:   Now I'm in the process of moving to a larger house with additional space for a track and a work out room so I'm looking at getting another track.

 

I've done two routed tracks in the past but would prefer to hire out most of the work this time around.  Since I'll still be running around to all those sporting events.  

 

Thanks to everyone for the quick responses.....

We Have the 4 lane 87' track Butch made, the track is now in Northern California. Waiting to be set up. Braided and wired etc.

Butch did a great job. Now it is up to us to get it up and running.

If you google Engleman slot car track you will see lots of variations.  A lot of track in a small space. Good design.
