Blake, I'm back from Disney World. Track is looking great, and looking forward to some racing. Pictures look so much better when cars have numbers.

Only one small section of track got done in the last few days but did get some new hardware. Got a power supply (pyramid ps26kx) and new controllers, a parma plus 45 ohm and a slot-it analog cartridge (had digital). Thank you Tony for letting me borrow some controllers and a power supply to get me started on this new road course.

And a new overall progress pic, it's coming along slowly.

Here hoping for everyone's safety at Daytona after today's last lap crash.

Thanks for looking

It's been a while since i updated the build. The back right section is done now. the back turn going into the 15' long back straight.

This is a pic of the first corner coming off the the front straight. 1920's and 30's chevy cars & trucks cars on the hill overlooking all of the action on the track.

A close up of the campfire scene in the back.

And a overview of the new sections.

Only one more section to do then a lot of fine tuning. :clap:

Thank you for looking,

Great updates. You picked the best supply out there and this track deserved it.

The old rides on the hill is a neat touch.

Thank you Harry and Leadfinger1. :oops: It's a fun and FAST track to run ! Scatman and myself get together to run a couple of times a week, and it's always a blast to run it as fast as you can into the squeeze and make it out in the slot much less in one piece. :lol:

Thanks for watching,

Blake

And now for the last section i wanted to do a pit road. Not too modern and not too old some where in between.

A lot of fine tuning to do. Are these tracks ever really done?

Thanks for all of the great comments :oops:

Blake

Blake,
That is a great looking track. You have really done a nice job on it.
What are the dimensions for the table it sits on?
Looks really large in some of the photos.

Thanks for all of the wonderful replies. Alfa the track is 16' by 8' with a lane length around 80' . Haven't got timing yet so do not know lap time,but it is quick. In the next few days i will put up a overall pic with a turn by turn description, plus a video or two. There is already one or two areas that are gonna get redone, just don't like the way they turned out.
David i would like to someday get to the level you are :clap: , but that is light years ahead of my skill set.

Again thanks for looking,

Blake
