I'm in the very begining stages of planning and looking for suggestions,tips,designs and or ideas.

I have a decent size area to work with...I can go with a 5'x9',6'x10',8'x8'...or any combo close to this.

I would like to have a 4 lane road course set in the center of a 4 lane oval super speedway with banked turns.

I would like to be able use anything from t-jets(my favorite) to magnet cars for racing.

I have the Tomy "super international" and "4 way split" tracks to start with and will buy more track as needed.

Is all this possible?...thanks in advance for any help! :)

p.s. in time I'm also planning on adding a dragstrip.

Tomy track is a good starting point -- stay with that.
The Tomy high banks, however, will not be kind to your T-jets. You may have to race magnet cars exclusively on the high banks. The banking is something like 40 degrees . . .

I'd go as big as possible on the table so you have room to play around with different designs.

Have fun! :thumbsup:

i would say go 5 feet wide and then go as long as you can if you can go 5x10 that would nice if you could stretch it to 12 i think that would be awsome you can make a nice road course and then just change out a few pieces and make it into a oval very easy to do and like doba said above all and foremost just have fun kently

oh i forgot sorry as for why id say no wider than 5 feet is that it makes it harder to marshal if you go any wider than that

Here's a workable 10 by 6 design. It avoids placing any track too close to the middle.It's a single 57 ft road course and uses those 18" custom curves to open things up. This would be a good scenery track. You could put a pond or a large pit area in the middle where the display items are harder to reach.

Thanks to all for the tips,and thanks for all the different track designs,quite a few to choose from.

I didn't realize the t-jets wouldn't do well in the banks and I really like the t-jets so of the track choices which road course tracks shown would be good t-jet tracks?

would it be possible to provide some sort of legend for the track diagrams so I know what pieces are what size when looking at them?

thanks :)
