Use light reactive paint for slot marking, like our friend here in W. Aust did:

Seriously dude -- you need to use some punctuation when you type if you want to have your posts read. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets about a line or so into your posts and says "What the heck? -- Forget it."

I think it's RAD. It's just missing the smoke, pyrotechnics and Gene Simmons!
Is that a Marshall stack in the background?

With that pic, I would think his background muzak of choice would be more inline from the DISCO era. Strobes and bright colors abound, everyone wears white t-shirts so they can be seen. :freak:

That is crazy cool. I am guessing that a crat store may have neon tape that will work, anyone know?

Cool, you can also use the neon stripes used for cars with 12volt power ( white green and blue ).

I wasn't there when they took the shot; but knowing the owner it would have been death metal.

As an update, his track has been attacked by whiteants, and is in a sorry state at the moment :(
