My new track setup

First time caller...

Social media started pushing race videos on me a few months ago and I started buying new track and cars while I was digging out my old track to see what I could come up with. This is what I have so far and I'm pretty happy with it but always scheming to try to make it better.

I tried to have higher wall tracks for the in and out and most(not all) cars are holding the turns pretty consistently. Some are too hot for the first turn and others can't make the old school U turn at the end. 

Started with thin plywood to support the long stretches and now have some thicker boards and some firmer cardboard in play. Need to do some work to level off the flats where the boards meet the tables.

I started with flat dual lane turns from Amazon, K-Tomoto, and they're decent. But they're flat, as previously mentioned.

Met a guy at a swap meet that worked with me to find some ten degree banked dual turn files that he printed and they're much better but not quite perfect. I wish the original style turns, or a similar product, were easier to come by at a decent price.

The distance doesn't seem to lend itself to one camera videos but this one video I did isn't as terrible as I thought it was at first.

Nice! That is a great looking setup. Long straights for lots of speed!


  • Man, thanks so much. They kinda slow down between turn one and two but there's been some good racing going on down to and through turn 3 when the cars are evenly matched. — B_of_D

This is GREAT!  Going to make for some fun racing with those long straights.  Can't wait to see you perfect it and start hosting races.  Count me in.


  • Saw a meme recently that fits me - "I may not finish, but it has to be perfect!" Hoping I can get to a point where I can just say 'it's done and this is it.' We'll see.... — B_of_D
