Love the Midget video! I would say that is a world record for setting up and painting a track! Epic.

That looks really good Dave. :text-bravo:

SGD,

Did you hand tape or did you borrow a taping machine?

[dreinecke]

Dave - that looks great and I agree this has to be some kind of record.

As for cracks - I'm lazy and use a fine tipped Sharpie marker. The patches I just paint where appropriate and outline those with a Sharpie as well.

Looking good. That field of cars is a great sight.

I can't wait to see that thing all rubbered in. Its going to look great. You really did a great job on this. Did you use a straight double flute or some other bit for the routing?

[waaytoomuchintothis]

Good choice. I have never burned a Bosch bit. I assume its the alloy they use.

Looks like a great track, Dave.

I've got a feeling that your length/width ratio is going to make this a really satisfying oval.

Well done indeed!

David.

Wow Dave, glad there was no one in the way , I'm sure they would have gotten run over lol
Love the latest pics, shows off the track surface great, and the firebird with the dirt splattered over the windshield looks good too.

Wow, looks great. I am really liking that finish.

[TsgtRet]

Dave you know I'm not an "oval guy" but that looks great!
Is the local constabulary waiting to turn some laps or is there a hidden donut shop on the infield?

[SRQSloter]

That looks really good Dave. And like Harry. Really like the road surface.

ShotgunDave,

Sir the track just looks so dang good!

I am quickly becoming a fan of small home tracks with a total of 360 degrees of turns in them.

At present I am planning "The Florida Triangle" which will be a Pocono-like 3 turn track (There is NO Turn4!) type of set up.

It's gonna be small in size as size does not matter with these types of tracks. The amount of FUN comes from the sum of the folks that will be racing.

My parameters will be 3 lanes, 3 7/8 lane spacing (the "trammel" I was lent to build it is set up for that) and one of the turns will be 90 degrees. At present I am thinking a 6 x 12 layout with one end being but 42 inches wide is the way it will turn out. My "Olde Mathe Booke" sez . . . . . A=6, B=12, C=13.46, Angle A=90, Angle B= 63.4 and Angle C=26.6. Sounding like a fun track.

More to follow.

I think I read you are using Hobby Lobby copper tape as well? I like your idea of running the tape down to the underside and soldering on the power wire there. Makes a much better joint. Great minds do think alike!
