yeah it's kind of the manshed...i had a couple girls interested in racing,but the guys didn't want an estrogen invasion,so we'll keep it boys night out for now!LOL!too bad,a female singer i know is a trucker who used to race stock cars here at western speedway.she'd probably kick our butts!:p

Nice looking layout. How do the bank turns work for you? Seems like a short entrance and exit on a couple of the sides. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

yup.it's tight alright.we tried reversing the direction,but are still ironing out some rail height issues,so it's outta the bank right into a hairpin!i would like it better if we exited into the big 18''radius curves,to keep our speed through the turn.we run pretty much everything through those banks,including semis w/trailers!the only cars that don't like the banks are old untuned tjets with stock magnets.then i tune em up and they do o.k.my tjets make it cause they are really tuned up with jl magnets,so i get enough speed to not slide right out.generally we run afx and magnatraction though.the drag strip is almost a scale 1/4 mile

Fast track and drag racing looks like fun. Combine it with whatever is in the Happy Cup and you have a party!

funny you should mention that happy cup...it was spilled that night,on the track!:rolleyes:no more happy cups on the race table!lol..its tight but fast..more challenging than you would think for a small layout...the afx and mt's seem to like it the most,and the trucks.:thumbsup:
