Thanks for the positive feedback guys! I've spent a great deal of time thinking and planning for this renovation. This track has a lot of history and is important to our slot racing community. I do not take cutting up and changing anything on this track lightly!
looking great there Bill. but time is a wasting back to work.......
In a spur of the moment decision to get some work done on the track I was able to finish up the routing of all four new lanes. All the lanes of the circuit are again continuous. Thanks to Diane for her help today!
Will not be long and there will be the sound of slot cars zipping around the track at Mr Bill...
Way to go Diane, rocking the router!
Completed the braid recess this morning. DONE with the router and Roto Zip! What a freaking mess! If there is anything messier that routing wood I sure don't know what it is!
Jello wrestling
I'm afraid to ask how you know that Doc............
More Bondo................
Hurry up. I'm ready
Those cars are looking really good Mitch!
Hurry up. I'm ready
Hell yeah, me too!
OH YEAH!..............a little better lane spacing on this track!
The first coat of paint is down on the new and repaired portions of the track.
From a different angle....
looking like a track again Bill.
Nice work Bill. It is going to be fun!
Finished up the paint work this morning, and cleaned the track this afternoon.
The track's lane lap lengths were increased by 11' 8 1/2". The new total lap lengths are: RED = 82' 1/16", WHITE = 81' 10 3/4", BLUE = 81' 9 7/8", YELLOW = 81' 9".
Here's the Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway circuit after its latest reconfiguration:
you have to worry up and get done bill, we still have my track to do........
I'm hurrying as fast as I can go Doc!
Started work on the driver's stations today.
This week = color sanding on the track and additional coats of paint if needed. Plus building the controller hook ups.
That's looking very good, Mr. Bill!
I'm feeling pretty good about the amount of work I got done on the track today. Except for a few more screws and some paint work the driver's stations are pretty much done. I also got all the parts made for the controller hook ups.
These are the mounts for the copper tubing for the controller hook ups.
These are the copper tubes for the controller hook ups. The controller's alligator clips attach to these.
This is how the copper tubes attach to the mounts.
This is the faceplate that covers the tubing mount. This makes the copper tubes recessed which protects them from potential shorting.
This hook up is mocked up in place with a controller connected. The hook ups are slightly angled up towards the driver in an attempt to make it easier to connect controllers.
Here are the new driver's stations and the controller hook ups parts.
Looks good Bill
Nicely done sir
