Starting Stages of a Track Build…
Been collecting since 2020, mainly Faster Than Ever cars, and got into watching some of the great drag racing and street racing YouTube channels. Kids and I have talked about building a track to race and video. I like the idea of my kids learning the skills needed to video, photograph, editing, and writing it will teach them.
So I cleaned my workshop and made space for a track, 13 feet by 4 feet. Have to keep it compact so I can maintain space to tinker on the shop. I'm talking with Spool Heads to get a 180 curve and a S-curve section. The S-curves represent Grand Rapids, MI where my daughter was born and to represent for my boy, I bought the Mini Units Beam to build a suspension bridge, the Mackinac Bridge. He loves crossing it when we visit the U.P.. We'll paint it and add lights.
Looking forward interacting and learning with you all.

I got a pair of the 180 crossover turns from Spool Heads. They are super nice and greatly improved my track.
Looking good so far!
