I have been HO racing for about a year now and recently had a chance to run a SCX track. I really enjoyed the squeeze section, not toyish like oldtime HO but truly a place you had to plan for. I am wondering if anyone has tried a HO routed track with an area where the slots were close enough together to prevent passing. I was thiking that on a 4 lane oval sized to fit on a door it would be fun to have lane 1 and 2 squeeze going into turn one and lane 3 and 4 squeeze going into turn three. I am not the worlds best wood worker so I would love any feedback about squeeze sections before I spend a few weekends routing a track that is either undriveable or just not fun.

Have seen it done on many of the larger scale routed tracks. Great idea, gives you a more realistic turn event with all lanes trying to get down into a turn or on the bottom of the track if it's a banked oval. WOuld make it interseting for sure. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Pretty sure Brad (Bowman) did a big oval with squeezes:

Yes, I built a routed track with squeeze sections, although it's not an oval. We will be having around 20 people race on it in about 1 months time:
