Verne - that is a great looking track! Always loved Suzuka's design.

The driver's stations are first rate! The space is huge and looks perfect for slot cars!

Thanks for the nice comments!!!!. The track is owned by Slotbutton(Darren) and i am the caretaker/host of it for the past 3 years
Thats the Club cave, my just completed Man cave(only took 22 years) has my car collection . Big screen TV 5.1 sound system and a great work desk-finally can leave cars in pieces and not have to box them everytime someone is over!!!!

Awesome track! Suzuka is one of my favorites and with six lanes of racing action I bet you guys have a blast!

Having raced it, my opinion may differ slightly from those viewing it for the 1st time. I hate that track. :evil:

I've raced on it a couple of times and just don't care for it at all. For the drivers, there is no chance to ever relax even a little bit. You have to constantly think your way through each lap as there is no easy rhythm to it, at least none that I have ever found. Plus the fact that LVIS runs it on 13.8V, the cars never get a chance to stretch their legs and you're constantly fighting to hold back the power with your controller. Even the club members spent years trying to figure it out so an out-of-towner has virtually no-chance of ever being competitive. It looks nice but there are blind spots from the drivers stations and the kink on red is mostly unmanageable and requires constant marshaling.

To each their own of course, but for me I tend to prefer point-&-shoot. Complex road courses are too much like work and I race for fun. :)

Road courses are a blast! That hairpin sits in a fine location - right in front of the driver's stations. Yeah, the red lane looks tight there but if running heats...
