With the two temporary legs attached the curve is stable standing alone.

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.

When I was attending UC Santa Barbara one of the guys in my dorm had borrowed his brother's Miura. Drove it down Hollister Road as fast as he could and wrapped it around a tree.

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????

I'm also getting ready to rip and tear on my track Doc, but I will make time to come over and give you a hand when you're ready.

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......

Just to clarify, the Halloween race does not count for points.

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.

The NASTE Point Series Championship was moved to races held on Odd Thursdays awhile back. The IROC races were no longer scored as part of the Point Series Championship. 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.

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.

Damn......
