Thanks again Monte and Victoria for a fun filled afternoon of racing. I and my car love the new surface and I still think I'm in a food coma, especially after round two for dinner. See you again next month.

Looks great guys, but now the big question. Did it help with the deslots?

Re: How I Spent My Weekend (8 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
Is this a private debate or are you going to turn the rest of us loose on the track and then make a determination? Did all the track joints get sanded or just those two seen in the pictures?

Re: How I Spent My Weekend (8 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
Nice work Monte and Victoria. Our bathroom is painted with that stuff and it does feel and look like sandpaper. I hope that the grip level does not become too much to handle. Have you been able to test it yet?

No, Rico, I will just let the computer do it in a random manner.
In that case I may never win a heat.....

Not yet, I had to give slot cars a break yesterday in a weak attempt to convince the wife I'm not completely obsessed, which of of course I am.

Re: Penguin Point Raceway - First Sunday Race Results - January (10 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
I realized that it was the same lane in both directions, but any kind of barrier would still have to let the blue lane pass through with out obstructing it's path in either direction. What about something that retains it's shape but was still flexible? If you put the posts on the ends far enough apart you might be able to make it work by letting it flex a little if need be with out deslotting the car.

I didn't realize just exactly how close the results were when they were announced. I also didn't realize just how close those lanes were. WOW!

Re: Penguin Point Raceway - First Sunday Race Results - January (10 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
I think one thing that would help minimize the deslots would to do some leveling on the track joint seen at the very bottom of the picture. Either fill, sand and paint or just sand and paint. Any filler would be easily separated if the track ever needs to come apart. Maybe the joint before the tee could also get some attention.
Just my humble opinion
