Looks fast. Who needs to park cars in the garage anyway!

Yes..it's a 4 lane.....I havent set up a two lane since seeing Greg Braun's web site... :thumbsup:

Sorta....the only place I can set this up is in the garage...the three tables are 21 ft from north to south...

I'm actually toying with an inner loop to double the running lenth...with an double over pass to tie it together...

I have an idea to use the lower loop as half of an 8 lane oval when wanted...

If it was me,Id widen the radius of the bottom curves.Banked would be cool,but I dont think that really works out too well with plastic sectional track.

Yes..I plan on using 12 amd 15" for the outer four lanes....and 6 and 9" for the inner loop for the infield run back north...

This will also give me 2/3 of an 8 lane oval on my lower two tables..(3'x 7' 6")....

Banked turns only work with sectional track if you create a banked sub-roadway of plywood to support them, with graduated banking for the straights leading into and out of the banks. This is done the sameway you would bank a wood track.
