Are you making a race track table or a "Rock Band" stage???

Something was nagging at me about your table ... and then I realized why this table looked so familiar.

I request permission to come aboard, sir.

Sweet looking track. I love those Max tracks, ultra smooth, fast, and great quality. The extra wiggles will keep things interesting and keep lap times up at a reasonable level even with fast cars. I prefer to run tracks clockwise but I'd run that one counterclockwise. I've run on Max tracks with that same sweeper arrangement and being able to punch it heading into the entrance to the sweeper and feeling the car accelerate around the sweeper like cracking a whip is something to experience. Plus, if (or when) you run clockwise you'll have more wrecks along the front straight because drivers will be punching it hard coming out of that fractional turn heading into the front straight, lose it, land on the front straight, and other cars will get caught up in the wreck. Fractional turns heading into straights are typically a breeding ground for wrecks.

maybe we should name your track after the aircraft carrier

"The Saratoga"


Saratoga Speedway sounds good to me!
