Nice! You know what would look better on it though? A 1967 Barracuda... ;)

Ya the track isn't much to look at. I'm working on rebuilding my road course and just got the oval. So I made a quick table with some scrap plywood for now. Once I'm done I'll have an oval and a road course. But I'm rearranging my entire basement and that's not fun lol.

Gameover,
So, how did it feel when you put the car on the track and it ran?
You built it. Way to go.
Welcome to the sometimes wacky world of scratchbuilding.

Wow, not sure what to say seems to run good?
But, it was just kind of a blur :? Can we see her up close?
Also, what was all the noise? It sounded like some squirrels were powering that thing via treadmill or something?? :lol:

Ya the clicking is the guide hitting the seems in the track sections. It seems to run good in my book. There are close up pics in the vnfr build thread in the proxy section.
