PistonHead Raceway

Postby klokman » Sat Dec 01, 2012 6:38 pm

Here is my hand routed MDF track. Each lane is braided with 4.25 inch spacing and measures about 75 feet in length with a bank turn at the end of the front straight. The track is powered by a LOKO Model # DPS-400GL which delivers an adjustable amount of voltage from 4 to 18 volts, and 18 amps continious and max to 30 amps. The scoring is done by Trakmate, and each driver station is equipped with a toggle switch to reverse the car direction, three 1/4" bolts to attach a controller and also a three prong plug to connect the controller. I inserted two small plastic containers to house a small oil and tire glue applicator. The track is also equipped with a soda bar and some booths to relive the good old days. Thanks for Looking.

Thanks for all the great feedback, and yes i do need a jukebox to finish everything off. It needs a 1960 Seeburg to match the wall boxes and that would make everything functional.
