The track surface is painted, color sanded, and ready for the braid to be laid. The driver's stations are built and have three coats of white base color on them. Today I applied the first coats of color to the driver's stations to identify which lanes each serves. I also remounted the electrical track control center that houses all the relays and connections for the lap counting system.
COLOR!....Something other than tan or white!
As a track owner I DO NOT like having problems or issues during a race! It can happen but what makes it even worse is having to crawl around under the track trying to figure out the source of the problem. With the track controls mounted here with easy access, it will make performing any necessary diagnostics much easier! I am planning to redo/redesign all the electrical connections and hardware that connects the wiring to the track braid and controller hookups. Part of the plan is to use fewer nuts, bolts, and screws!
busy busy there Bill
Do have Rush working man playing in the back ground to keep you motivated???? Looking good by the way

At Bobs the orange and green look the same to me. At other tracks I've had trouble with the purple and blue, Sometimes if the yellow is not bright enough it looks like the green, but the yellow and orange are never a problem, go figure.
Well that explains all the yellow and orange cars you own...
You all have fun now, I'll be drunging away and the work cave make sure all the trucks can roll so they can delv all the much needed but wipe and other things...
Have no clue. It was fun painting and putting it together.
I have one going together also. Think Dale's black goodwreanch car. Painted just waiting on the decals. Mine is for a proxy race.
racing? what is that again????????
nope have about 300plus feet of track and 40 cars I think I'm good.
what you do? install grow lamps????

I have a couple challenges to overcome before this can happen. But I am hoping before the cold winter months it is an option.
I want to emphasize that I think it is important here to respect those who open up their homes for us to race. I want to race as much as the next guy but it really isn't up to what we are comfortable with at this point. It is up to the track owners and their families and we have to respect that.
That said, starting next month there will be 3 weeks in a row of fast paced 1/24 racing going on. So now might be the time to try your hand at that!
Zack
Yes we dont want to put any pressure on the track owners, when they feel ready to hoist again they will....hopefully there is a vaccine that will be out shortly and all these crazy crap will behind us and we can get back to normal life again....
sounds like a plan there Zack... hey the 1/24 stuff looks like fun. just wish I could get some in. but working both saturday and sundays really screws that up.... come on winning lottery ticket.....
With all these smoke in the air, it really sad we not out smoking our tires with some racing....
No let's hear the dirt on that one.
It almost like you done these before Bill.
Job well done.
Im in. what do you run for tires on your track. if rubber I have a bunch of chipped gt3 cars i could bring to race with. they all are very close in performance.
you have to worry up and get done bill, we still have my track to do........
Well what a crazy year so far......... all we are missing is a good old Earthquake to round it out.
looking like a track again Bill.

I bought this REVOSLOT Toyota Supra, its beautiful and I love the aluminum chassis.

I can say that I feel safe there, we could do something like that.
As Mitch mentioned on Facebook a guess, I bought a REVOSLOT, ohh man those cars are just perfect. They make NSR look crap, seriously.
We could have some sort of class for those type of GT cars, REVO, NSR...
No a completely different subject, I have in my garage a nice digital Scalextric track on top of a 13 by 5 feet table, It would be nice to host a race or something here in Scappoose. What you guys think?
Sounds like fun. you running any kind of race program with that ssd set up? I was running rsc 64 with mine with pit in and out sensor before I tore it all down. does revoslot make any gt3 body cars, thought they were are gt1 gt2, have to look into that some... but you can run them in lmp for sure.
Looks like a nice flowing layout.I have some corner lane changes. They no longer make them. If you want by try some. I'll won't be using them any time soon.
Will not be long and there will be the sound of slot cars zipping around the track at Mr Bill...

So these old 49er comes out of the hills were he has been mining and walks into the local town. takes a seat at the bar and orders a beer and whiskey and downs both. then ask the bar owner were the nearest brothel is located. bar owner replies we do not have those in our town. well dang napper the old coot says what if you really in need of some company.. the bar owners thinks for few minutes and says if your really hard up there is old bill across the street there. 49 replies Im not into that crap. well that all there is here. so the 49er has a few more beers and off back into the hills he goes. so these happens few more times and then one day the 49ers comes back into town and asks the same old question and gets the same answer , well the old 49ers replies it has been years i do anything at these point so the bar owners yells at a few guys and they take of to get old bill. the 49 is sitting at the bar drinking his beer when he hears all this fighting and cussing going on and he looks out and old bill is putting up a hell of a fight. the 49 asks the bar owners what is up with old Bill. well the bar owners says old Bill ant into that crap either.....
