Buggar. I'm not that far along and the track was already built when I got it! I have to fully wire it before setting the sections in permanent placement because it won't be open underneath. I have 1/4 inch sign material to give me gaps to use like a wiring chase in a building. Its a bit fiddly, but it should work. But its slow. You're going to be running on yours before I get started painting.

That is seriously cool! Is the inside lane going to hit the turf a little?

Hey, Booger Butt! What's that black and blue modified with red/chrome wheels all about? I don't remember seeing that before. I have just enough artistic training to recognize color theory at work. You and Jeremy and a couple of others around here know something about color, and that combination is good enough for me to shamelessly steal! So there!

Very cool and you're right, the pics were deceiving. Very nice work! Now, stop goofing off and get it taped and wired!

ECR - I know exactly what you mean!

David,

That track is awesome!

Just awesome!!!

Looks like an old dirt track from times past.

Now just add some signage from that time period and you are vintage dirt tracking at its finest!

Nice work Dave, that is going to be lots of fun when you get the other 2 lanes done and 3 cars going at the same time. Great little oval!
