Howdy Boys! I think I finally figured out how to squeeze as much track into the space I have. The front and back straights are about 8' long each. I jammed what ever I could into the middle with out using any three inch curves and one 9" inch 1/4 turn (besides the loops). The inside lane is the outside on three of the four loops so it should be a pretty even layout. I used three wall warts. I had four on there but I was having dead track section problems no matter how I configured them so I went with the three and it works great. I have nice padded folding chairs and a nice set of shelves for my cars. The black shelves are for the MT's I have on their way. I also used Microscalextric controls. I might go back to the AFX. The MS seem a little sticky. I made this with a 4Way Split and an International. It's great fun. I like running one car at a constant speed with one hand and platying cat and mouse with the other.

Ya like it?

Looks like fun DS!! You could always get a steering wheel controller and splice it in so you have a "ghost" racer to compete with!! Too bad you weren't closer to DFW. I'm sue coach and NTx are always looking for some competition.. There's a couple other Tx type people on the boards.. Maybe one is close??? Come on, guys!! Don't be shy!! :lol:

Unfortunately there is nothing close out here. My PO is an hour away! Good idea about the steering wheel control!

Here is the "New and Improved" Castolon Raceway. I'd still like to get some banked curves and get it up on a table someday(at least it's not on carpet). I also would still like to do my desert scenery too!

That looks like a fun course!!! Technical on the inside, and a couple rip roaring straight aways for speed!! Nice set up, Dave!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks! Yeah, it's fun. I did the outer part first and then tried to cram all I could inside it. You can't see it on the left but there is a wide 180 turn that gets tight before you come out of it. I want to bank the two outside curves on the outer left so you can open them up 3/4's of the way around the room.

Sweet track!

Nice looking collection of cars there also!

Looks like it would be a very challenging road course.

Enjoy!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looks like its coming along great!
