Buy him track.... He still owes me for the last car and I can't afford any more track for myself.

Re: Track Design Contest

I know that scenerio Rico! Hey that big track looks a lot like PIR!!!  ----------------Bill

Re: Track Design Contest

That's because it is.  He saw the one posted on that link I sent you (Under World Tracks) and stated that it didn't look right.  I think his is better than the one posted, but I might be kind of bias.  I guess now that his is posted here we can let the rest of you decide which is better, if you choose to.

Re: Track Design Contest

Actually it's pretty darned close - I've even gone around PIR a number of times on rally regularities and no, that is not at a high speed.  Here's the actual PIR in red laid over AJ's track.  A few tweaks and it's just about there.

Re: Track Design Contest

Say, didn't Bill have an unlimited supply of track? Now if Bryan has an unlimited space to built one, how about Spa-Francorchamps?

It has two cross-over tracks in it to equalize lane length. And it will fit on a 30x50 foot table.....

I like it George, one of my favorite tracks.  How about that space Bryan?

Re: Track Design Contest

thats really cool george!
how long did it take you to make that??

Re: Track Design Contest

The base layout was done in about 30 minutes, but then I spend some time here and there over the course of a couple days to make adjustments. I think... I did these a while back and once you start clicking away with these programs time seems to stop. Or fly by, whatever....

I also did a four lane version, not with equal lane length but pretty close. Each lane about 18" to 20" shorter than the next: 129.8', 131.3', 133.0', 134.6' in a 44.8' by 22.8' space. So if we ever get an old warehouse space we can set it up.... ;-)

Re: Track Design Contest

Well I've gone from 2 lane fun track, to full blown 4 lane track, and now have settled on a 2 lane test track (for now). It's up and runnin' with Scalextric RMS counting/timing and I'm learnin' stuff!  ----------------Bill
