The curve is positioned to maintain 18 inches clearance from the other portions of the track to allow for turn marshals. Turn marshals will be able to access all portions of the track without crawling! No more hands and knees stuff for us old guys!

This is where the hairpin will sit in relation to the rest of the track. I will be adding about 12 feet overall to the lap length. The next step is to build the tabletop portion tying in the space between the curve and the rest of the track.

looking like somebody been drinking way to much java......
well you are getting further than I have. I way over built my table and only can get so much done before it is way to hot to work..
all the plywood and side boards are off just need to break down the table frames and start the new table build..
Being a vet I'm not to keen on there kneeling crap so could care less right now and that goes for MLP also.

Well we are in tree hugging country. Did the tree make it through the crash and was a lawsuit taken up for the tree to sue the driver and owner????

Thanks I will take you up on that when the time comes
Should not be to bad. Just need to take a foot of the width and angle one end to clear the garage door rail. Table will havewhels so it can be moved out to the middle of the garage. Biggest. Thing making it light enough for one person to tilt but still ridged not to twist or bend. Think I have good plan on the design. Going need help when it comes to the track though.
well I finally pulled the trigger and tore up the track the for re build of the table to something I can fold up against the wall and be able to park my cars again inside. need to find some boxes to put all the track and boarders in and then start on tearing the table apart and seeing what I can save for reuse and what needs to go to the dump... think the plane is to rebuild and go with wood analog and the build a 2nd smaller table and go digital again......
Yeah I had plans on redoing my table and track but it is way to hot in the garage to do anything right now.

I have not heard of any plans, comments, or ideas about adding tracks to the line up. There are some nice new tracks out there that could surely be added if the interest is there!
I heard there is a really nice one over by Vancouver Mall.The owner is a really swell guy to boot.

I feel this is now the best venue and format for the Point Series Championship. There is much more of a competitive feel to the Odd Thursday night races in my opinion, therefore more pertinent to a point series. The IROC races had their own championship.

The Saturday Halloween thing through me off.with that said has there been any thought of a second track being added to the Thursday night list. I DONT think Al going to hoisting any races till these covid19 issue is truly well behind us.
These is the Saturday races correct
Ed: To answer, NO. ====Bill
Those should be just fine just as long you do not run any Mercedes gt1 cars on the track. They like to catch air and fly into trees.
What ever. Working Saturday really blows you know what. Haven't even looked at a slot controller since all these covid19 junk went down..... be nice when we can get back to racing the 1/32 cars again.....
Well way to Zack. Hope we can get back to racing sooner than later. Need to pick classes for the next season.
