New Track

[blkdog1]

NOT. I have no track, but I have the fever and 4 cars. I have been trying to find a Scalextric Digital Platinum Race Set. There are a few out there but at twice the price. I don't believe I will settle. I do have plans moving forward to construct a routed track.
I am still hopeful of the set but have started my routed track. (very infant stage) Will keep ya'll posted.

Welcome to HRW, hope you are feeling better. Once you go wood you will never go back!

Welcome! If you find the track expensive, I'd consider a routed one as well.

I know you are right about the routed track and I do have one in process. Routed tracks are GREAT when you have the room to stretch them out. I currently have a limited amount of space (8.5X10) which would allow for the longest possible straight to be approx. 12 ft. I know it would be smooth and really fast.... for the size. How much can I effectively cram into an 8x10 space. On the other hand the Digital option gives me a great deal more flexibility in track design, space management, and driving options (games with-in the race itself) to keep everyone interested long term. But I will have a routed track as well, maybe outdoors. I do live in Texas and it doesn't rain much here, very few Cold days and I do have an Large area between the house and the pool that will support a stretched track and be 100% on a cement foundation. Off the ground of course. Until the routed track is complete and as I feel the Need for Speed..... Magnatech Raceway is 20 min from my house and Jim has 2 commercial 8 lane tracks over 150' each (one is a King). That is my reasoning. Am I wrong? Any suggestions I should consider? All input is helpful.

I wouldn't worry about cramming in...if you have plans for scenery. I find that making it look good is part of the enjoyment for me.
