Looks like you're expecting a whole lot of "fans" 'doba. I think you'll be able to fill the seats, nice layout.

Great looking track! Would you mind if I ask a few questions about your track? Like the lenght, and width? What are the multi-colored strips made of or did you buy it like that? Also what you use for the walls, I really like those!! Thanks

Are those Coral snakes or King snakes on those turn aprons? :p

That's the most AFX grandstands I've ever seen on one track. This shot looks cool!:

Yeah, I liked that one too, looks really sinuous.

Thanks for all the kind words you guys! I promise I will answer everyone's questions soon -- I have been down all weekend with the flu or some kind of stomach bug.

Just popping in tonight to have a look. :)

Looks super. What are the physical dimensions? How will you power it?

Could you tell me what you used for the retaining wall around your track and were did you get it? I have been looking for something like that for my track. I have looked at a couple Home Depot stores but have not found anything like your retaining walls.

Thanks

It seems to have the appearance of "cove base molding", the stuff around the base of your tub or bathroom/kitchen walls...? If it is, Home Depot, Lowes, et al should have many variations in size and color.

Ugh!

That looks awful! I'm thinking you should get rid of it and try to do it right with a new track.

I know!....since I'm a good samaritan, you could send it to my place so that you don't have to stir up any more bad memories by having it there as a constant reminder. :thumbsup:

Hehe....I can't wait to see the finished layout. :)

Hi 'doba

inquiring minds want to know all about your track.

Hi 'doba,
Any response to some of the ?'s asked earlier?
I would like to know what was used for your barriers (retaining walls)
Thanks, Jim

Hi -- sorry I haven't answered on this thread for so long -- my job has been kicking my ... lately and I am in hurry up mode to get more completed on the track since I am hosting a race on this Wednesday night!

Anyway, here's the scoop on the retaining walls -- I get them at Menards and the description on the receipt says " 8' Cap Strip-White, 5093876 " They are $1.76 so the price is right. :) The bigger Menards here has them, the smaller one doesn't anymore. There are different sizes and styles so the stock number is probably key. I have some pics I can post and will answer more questions soon!

Thanks,
'doba
