Draw it out first on paper.

Use scrap wood / materials as much as possible, once you have the foundation set you can replace as needed with better materials.

Make it your own. There is no "right way" to make a track, but this site has a ton of great people that will give you advice on what works and what does not.

First thing that should be asked: how much room do you have?
Are you looking to build a road course or a drag strip?

All advice above is solid: recycle when and where you can, eventually upgrade when you have time/money. Pallets are cheap free wood that can get you started.

Don't you have a mail in race on the calendar? Just wondering if you are trying/wanting to build track before that race or if you have a track in place for that?

What the other guys said... Don't get impatient like me and connect everything together with hot glue lol. Measure everything, and also test to make sure the cats make it down ok.
