image.jpegWell I've finished my routed wooden track in Melbourne Australia.
3 lanes at 75 feet each, copper taped.
It's my first ever attempt at building a track and I'm absolutely wrapped in the results.
1/32 Scalextric cars are perfect and 1/24 scale will also go round easily.
This project took me 10 weeks but I'm fighting pancreatic cancer and had to take my time.
Hope you like it.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpeg

Well thank you all gentlemen.
This is high praise indeed and I'm thrilled to read it.
If you are ever in Melbourne, pack a slot car and hit me up.
Ps, I have a Facebook page for my track showing a few more pictures and video as well.
Search for "The Thunder Road Raceway" on Facebook if you like.
Thanks again
Lenny

I really love the timing bridge. Beautiful blending of materials that makes it look very clean and modern. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good fight!

Having built my share of tracks, I can tell you I'm a bit envious of your work here... :music-rockout:
