You guys have seen my road course I am working on so here is a shot of my oval which was originally built in July 1994.

It was first built with Tyco track painted gray. A year later I switched to Tomy track which is what the track is still using today. The turns are typical for the time, 9" & 12" radius. It's powered by three stock wall-warts and uses Tyco controllers.

Thought I'd share a pic of it -- we are having our 2007 metal body stock car finale on Wednesday at this track -- and it has been a great bullring through the years (and hopefully for years to come).

Each time I think I will rebuild it with 15" & 18" corners I just can't bring myself to do it! :lol:

Not a bad layout at all. Great looking NASCARs. What brand is that Charger? :thumbsup: rr

Was probably the Alabama Gang :D

We have a "1 set" rule for rear tires where you have to run the same set in all three divisions. You can use three chassis if you like but only set of tires. We run on stock Tyco HP7 tires so the set I've been running has lasted about two seasons now (20 events).

Those are all Action or Winner's Circle die cast bodies adapted to run on HP7 chassis. Great fun on a short oval like that (8' banquet table).
