:rolleyes:Has anyone ever tried building a track out of clay, or some other moldable material? I'm thinking of a banked oval again. :p The stainless steel track is still the bomb.

I wouldn't want to spill a drink on that one.... or would I?

Wow now that's different. Do you end up with chunks of it in your beer like the real clay tracks? :p

SwamperGene,

A clay slot car track...now I have seen it all. Used to race Remote Control cars before the kids came along on a huge indoor clay track. That was alot of fun!

Had lots of fun painting the lexan bodies also...Phssssssssssssssssh

Bob...clay is kewl...zilla

Wonder if those dirt trackers take out any chunks when they do those 360 rolls? :freak: rr

wow thats a slick track.lol but i like the clay idea.

Clay track huh, that's interesting. Hills, valleys, parabolic turns, sever cobblestone you name it. Excellent idea. How about putting a 3/4" step in a turn between each lane, Hot fast corner and it would look really cool. Steel rails are out of the question due to the hills and such. How about routering a notch the width and depth of flat braided copper. Now your surface is perfectly flat as to not upset the car when sliding thru the corners. I don't think everybody is ready to go back to t-jet driving so you may want to give your track 2 to 3 coats of iron paint. Who the heck needs magnets in a straight, they slow the car and work the motor. As always, have a great raceday. Dave

Wow.

Homer Stillwell Has a clay oval that has a textured surfacehttp://stillwellracing.com/index.htm that is made by Ed Bianchi for slide guides

Not a great picture of Homer's track... but:

Also, what you cannot see is in the far corners it's sqeezed.. so you better know who your friends are if you plan to pass on the outsite. Really, a fun track... Homer runs the race with IROC dirt modified bodied cars which are Tomy super G cars configured with slide glides

Made the 10 hour drive to Homer's a few years ago for one of his big events. The clay colored (not really made out of clay) and his tri-oval were more fun than I thought they would be. The only negative to the place is it's in his basement. I spent a lot of time in pain from hitting my head.
