I'd pay 200 and drive to get it...not a penny more.

Would I build one for 200? Hell no.

I bet he will sell a few though....He was talkin this plan up for over a year so I know he has time invested.

Neat idea tho.....

$835.00 reserve not met...........

What kind of track do you think Brad Bowman would build you for 835 bucks or maybe a little more..........

Actually,
You don't have to use sectional track in the Tubbie shell. Brad Bowman does make a custom 4 lane version of the original layout to fit into the Tubbie shell.

However, you are now looking at a VERY LARGE investment (Fiberglass shell + routed track + wiring + power supply + timing system) for a 5ft x 12 ft layout!

Yeah my point was I would rather have a killer track than a nostalgic feel.

BUT if I already had a killer track I would take a tub as a novelty in a second ....for not much more than a couple or a few Super International sets at wholesale though.

A grand? I'll take 1/24th of a new car instead.....

Too bad he can't offer them cheaper and still come out.

Funny,I was thinking the same thing.

IF I had the dough to do it,and the room,I'd have my killer race track in the basement,and one of these tub tracks up stairs in a big room.

A lot of people have fancy pool or billiards tables in there houses around here,I'd rather have one of these tub tracks instead.
