My track is a little over 65 feet long. I put in four power taps just under 15 feet apart. I was running cars on it with just one when I first put it together before I got the wiring completed just to try it.Like Mitch  said it didn't make a noticeable difference with most of the 1/32 cars but some of my Over 50 cars would hardy move at the places farthest from the power tap. Like Bill , I thought too many is better than not enough.

Like Mitch I drew a few plans.I chose this one because it has the same number of left and right turns with very close to the same average radiuses. All lanes are close to the same length but drive differently. I could not do that without an overpass and I could get more length in the space with the overpass. Blind spots are a problem but if they're not too long it doesn't take long to learn how to compensate for them. Too Bad and Rapid Raceway both have,had overpasses with blind spots and are awesome tracks. I have the tools I used,mostly homemade and you are welcome to borrow them. Depending on the time of year ( winter early spring) I have time to lend a hand. I hope Bill finds his taping tool, it save much time and frustration if you go with copper tape.

That my home track advantage. I can't out race you guys but I have perfect attendance. That oven fire mishap made me think of something I should of told everyone a couple of years ago. The stairs are not the only egress from my basement. I'll show you all the other way out next race.

I've noticed that changing voltage can be inconsistent . Two similar cars that run about the same at one voltage will run quite differently at a lower voltage.

I repeat , if race #6 is being scratched due to the running of Thunderslots race #3 must also go.

We would also have to throw out race #3 GT which also ran Thunderslots. I would be for it then.

I'm all for having a meeting on the next Odd Thursday. I'd like to point out that Thunderslots are legal under the current Can Am rules as they are in GT. At the last point series race for GT the 1st, 2nd, and Third  places were all Thunderslots two of which were the same car ( Monte's). It seems to be a bit unfair to change the rules mid season after races have been run with certain cars.

I think it's the bourbon !!
