Glad we could help out with the track braid. Great track - a lot of great racing and memories when it was one of the Shoreline Club tracks. Nice to see it has and new home and is still going strong.

I like that hump on the long straight, I have one on mine too although not as severe. It adds some challenge to the "pin it" driving type.

Very nice looking track. I love the hump in the straight. I just tore down my 6 lane Carrera tri-oval. Just got tired of going around in a circle. Had lots of fun but all my cars are mostly road course cars. Your new track has enough turn to keep it interesting.

The track gets more interesting if you hold races on it. If you look closely you will see that it has rather random squeeze sections where you might not expect them. An example of that is in the downhill straight where making a pass can be tricky.

It is a fun track to run on! You are right about those squeeze sections Rich. You can forget about them easily in the excitement of a race!

LOVE reading about tracks like this. It's cool that everyone put so much effort in moving it and reviving it for further enjoyment.

Jeff, are you ready for the La Carrera Panamericana-2 proxy cars? If so, I'll bring them over. Let me know; thanks.
