this is going to be a cool build, are you going to make a drop arm guide and pack the front tires?

A proper 1/4 mile track in 1/24 scale would be 55 feet with sufficient shutdown area say 20 feet or so with either magnetic braking or glue. Parma pink traction compound medium works well for glue shutdown. :)

You could always do 1/8 mile, 27.5 feet. I've ran on a few of them. You just have to gear a little different. :)
