Im looking for checkered flag tape, about an 1.5"-2" wide with 3-5 rows of black and white squares. I've looked all over the web for a vinyl graphics supplier and tried to make some with MS Paint and I suck. Any ideas?

Yea, paint the background blk or wht and have a vinyl sign shop cut out the checkers from whichever color you need then. Thats what I had my wife do for my track.

Hah -- you beat me to it! I have used that black and white checkerboard model airplane wing trim on several tracks! It works awesome. I definitely recommend going that route as it is so easy and it is so thin it is like it is not even there.

And oh yeah -- it is dirt cheap too. :)

Notice the leading edge is solid white -- makes for a great finish line.

This is it stuck on a piece of plexiglass, cut and decaled to make a nice victory circle.
