View Full Version : New carpet oval track in poughkeepsie NY area. Possibly banked!
Trever007 09-17-2008, 09:29 PM Hey guys. I am looking into building a new 1/10th scale oval track in the poughkeepsie NY area. I want to make it banked but thats all dependant on how many racers i get. I will prolly start as a flat track than go banked. Ozite carpet! The dimentions will be 36' X 100' or 36' X 80'. Thats dependant on the building size. I have an old amb transponder set-up but was looking into a new one and i couldent find any prices. If you could help out with that i would be interested. Maybe a price with club transponders and with out as i might require personal transponders. Also please let me know if you are interested in racing on this new track or what. I need responses as to know how many racers i can count on. Also how much do you think is a good price to charge? Thanks guys, Trever

Manimal517 09-20-2008, 11:00 AM i'm too far away but i say make it banked, if you ask me there are too many flat r/c tracks, but i would also ask what type of banking are we looking at?
cutter1 09-20-2008, 12:36 PM i would say make it flat,this way you can run more than just pan cars and should get a better turn out!
Trever007 09-20-2008, 01:30 PM you could run anything on a banked track. look at some velo vids! m18s go crazy on them. thanks for the imput!

Trever007 09-20-2008, 09:56 PM so yer saying i should make it a banked track ehh? Also please post if you can attented the track or not thanks! Trever
cutter1 09-21-2008, 05:55 PM from what i figure your track is about 75 miles from me, which is closer than the track i race at now
Anytime72 09-21-2008, 07:14 PM Mark, my sister-in-law lives up there takes 1 1/2 hrs to get to easy ride. I would say keep it flat. Fits into the racing that most people will do.
Trever007 09-21-2008, 08:31 PM i just figured that banked was harder to come by. Thanks Guys!
Bill Evans 09-21-2008, 09:10 PM Trever,Sounds good if you can do it.A nice banked track would be good.I live in Middletown so it's pretty close.I have a few freinds that would come to.The last time I raced banked carpet oval was Wallkill wheels in Walden.
