Home Racing World

Well, the building has started. First, thanks Blake for helping. The table 16x8 with casters. Below, is my child Opti boat.



The track I'm building will be a copy of Art's track from Dart Hobbies. Thanks Art for giving me the green light. There will be some changes, but not many. If you want to see the track, and the build, go to

Here's a photo.


Tomorrow, some racing with Blake, and some planning before we start building on Thurs. :music-rockout:

Nice work Tony, looks like a great start.

I am sure you are happy to get a track back in action.

Always good to see another track getting started. That is going to be a nice track!

looks like a good start Tony :music-rockout:

The track decision has been made. I'm going with Martin's layout. (See above link) I spent the weekend going over ideas, and kept going back to Martin's track. Here' the first photo for the record.



Tomorrow, should have most of the track routed. :banana-dance:

Sure glad Blake "Regalman" is helping. Not sure my back can handle the task.

Today took a little longer then I thought, but better to be slow and steady. Well, until it's late in the day and I' m hungry. Blake, I took care of my little mistake.

Here's two photos of the corkscrew. I used Luf's tips on bending Mdf.




Here's some photos.





Hopefully weather will hold up for tomorrow. If not, maybe some racing at Blake's. :-)

Looking very good. Nice job.

Really nice! And you know I cannot resist the corkscrew!!! I wish mine had turned out. That is going to be one heck of a big track!

Another day of routing. Only negative, my lexan from Luf cracked. Here are some photos from todays work.

I sure like what I'm seeing.

Me too, me too! that is coming along nicely. That should be a very fun track!

Great looking track and table, I should get off the computer and do something similar. However, I was thinking the slots and the flexing kerfs were cut on opposite sides. It looks like yours are on the same side. Someone "straighten" me out here (a little wood butcher pun).

Looking good so far. Ill be keeping an eye out on this track. Looks like it will be a fun track.

buspor63 ,Not speaking for Tony but we did cut on opposite side of the cork-screw . What you see on the top side are just guide lines to match on the flip side. Track is coming along nicely. Looking forward to runnin some laps sometime next week. :banana-dance:
