Track is 88ft of 1966 vintage Strombecker track 4 power taps run from stock Revell power pack with Professor motor and old Parma controllers. Software is via Race coordinator and Arduino Uno interface with start and pit PE's I am constantly working to improve and add scenery etc.. If pics load Ok then I can add more later...

Nice track....quite some length! I like the use of elevation to maximize the space.
So often we get hung up with tight tracks thinking in 2 dimensions instead of 3.....

Looks like it would be a good time! What's a fast lap?

Fastest lap time I've had is 10.48, there is a lot of ground to cover and I like a challenging setup. There are 4 crossovers, 1 elevated and 3 X's. The footprint is 16ft x 12ft L configuration. The HO track is there so 4 people can race at any given time in the space. Truly a labor of love, thanks for he comments and input!
