Now with Photos! Corsa Autodromo Seminterrato

[oldtribefan]

This is my current project - Corsa Autodromo Seminterrato (Basement Raceway). It lives in my basement (no surprise there!) in Kennesaw, GA. As I am new to 1:32 racing (still have all my Aurora HO stuff from the 1960"s, packed away in boxes), I decided to use plastic track instead of committing to routed wood. This is a Carrera digital set (actually two sets and lots of extra track). I have painted the track with latex house paint.

I designed the track on a German track design program. It is approximately 95' of track with multiple lane changes and two pit areas, one for refueling and one for a pace car. The table is a modified "L" shape and is 11.5' x 15.5'. Since the room is 17'x25' there is room to access the track from all sides. I put it on casters so it can be moved into the corner when not racing.

I am currently using the Carrera transformer and the Carrera Ap for race control. My plans are to move to a computer based race control system - any recommendations? - and most likely a variable power supply.

Below are a number of photos. The first is the track as it is now. The remainder are construction photos. Our plans are to slowly complete racetrack landscaping. So far this thing is great fun!

That is not how the track looks now. Guess I need to work on how to post photos. Sorry.

Looking forward to them, looks like a nice space and table size.

I'll try to figure out the photo issue in the morning. It doesn't seem to be cooperating tonight.

Yeah, if I right click on "image" I can open the photo. Don't know why it is not showing the photo in the posting though.

And I wish I could access whatever photo you see with the photogenic young ladies!

[oldtribefan]

I may have figured this photo posting out.

Here is the track as it is now.



And the track plan:



If this actually works, I will post some construction photos.
