The track looks great! Glad to see the kids having fun racing! Cool tip on the hay bales! What size is the weather stripping, and how well dose it work on the track? Do the cars slide on it well? Thanks!

That is shaping up great! Love the hay bails - those are very slick! :D

Cars slide very well and I really like the color and texture

To me it looks like the red and white car is a Jaquar.

It is a JAG. Good article and phot of the car.

Roger - loving the track and it is great to see the kids having such a good time!

One thought: seal the hay bales. You may get visitors if you don't.

So did they use straw or hay bales on race tracks in the 50's :?:

Al Keller's Jaguar that ran (and won) on the road course at Linden airport in Linden, New Jersey, in 1954.

That may not be the first foreign car to run in a Nascar event since there were 13 Jags, 5 MGs, an Austin Healey and a Porsche in that race. [http://racing-reference.info/race/1954-18/W]

Oh yeah, the track and cars look great.

Here is photo of the side road I added.





And here is a long shot of the track on the kitchen table with two cars on autopilot for August.





I am waiting on some foam putty to see how it works for a berm. I have been researching woodland scenic's foam products to see what I can use.

Since my grandson become so engrossed with the TJETS I have pondering how to make the scenery 2 year old proof :) I may have to build a simple oval with lego buildings for him. I ordered several different sizes of standing figures from 1:150 to 00 to see how the sizes compare, 2 more packages from china to go. I'll post some pictures when I get them all. I also found Fire Extinguishers and Crowd Control fencing at Shapeways.com I need the figures before I decide on what size I want. I also found some metal etching 1/72 crowd Control fencing on ebay. Once I get how I want to make the berms down things should speed up.

I am very disappointed with the Grand Prix cars I haven't gotten one to run the way I would like. Now the skinny wheeled TJETs they have been a pleasure retune and get on the track I have an idea on how to make the Ferrari shown in the video and a Panhard Monopole so those will be the first two new bodies I make this year.

Looks great! Glad to see the little one having fun!
