Re: DOCDOM's Scalextric Digital Track in Vancouver - By Dan Fritz

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......

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.

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.

Re: DOCDOM's Scalextric Digital Track in Vancouver - By Dan Fritz

well track and table are all taken apart. looks like most of the wood is reusable. need to make a dump run and then figure how Im going build these tiliting table light enough that one guy can fold it up with busting a ball or two... these is what I.m aiming for.
