Set this up over at Petey's this evening on some scrap plywood, it's basically 4' X 4' and despite its looks it was pretty fast with XT's.

One end is 18/15" radius and the other is 6/9" radius corners. 21" of straights connect the big and little ends. Sort of a Twin Ring Motegi layout, great little drifting track because you pick up a lot of speed on the big end and have to brake hard on the little one.

Don't know if I'll make it a permanent track but it sure was interesting.

Wonder if I can make it with 15's and 12's on the large end.

Looks cool, haven't tried a real small track yet. Will give it a shot.

The smaller the big end the shorter the straights. You may lost 6" by going to 15/12's. We just did this with left over track and plywood. It reminds me of a track in the old RatBag PC game called Dirt Track Racing.

'doba, then you know the track I'm talking about. I can't find my copy or I'd be installing it and looking for it.
