Sprite Proxy Race 2018 - Tracks
Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2017 4:35 pmTo help entrants make decisions about chassis design and gear ratio, we'll post the track layouts here.
I'll start off with Mike's YVR, one of the newer GVSCC tracks.
It's a pretty technical layout with lots of tight and sweeping corners balanced with a 14 foot straightaway. Average lane length is 79 feet over a 10' x 20' flat foot print.
That's Keith (RetroRacer 44) who recently passed away and myself giving the track a work out.
It's a challenging track as there's less distinct visual reference points. Individual power sources set at 10 volts helps driveability.
I'm sure you've noticed, there's an aircraft theme going on here. There are probably close to a hundred 1:72 scale planes literally hanging from a thread and pin. Mike's a retired commercial pilot and passionate about air transport history. He's always got an interesting story about some plane and point in time.
