Excellent photos & a lovely track.
I`ve always preferred plastic as a club track. Cheers, Kev -------------------- " KISS MY JOUEF!"

Hi Youngy21, Lots of the features on your track are the same as my first track i built at Presto Park. Did you get inspiration from my track photos?
You have made a superb job of the track and scenery - love it. Unfortunately we had problems with the heat and cold in our club room so i built a wood track but i did prefer my Scalex track. Great job. Mike (Presto Park, Norfolk) |

Thanks for the positive comments.
Mike - the track has evolved over a number of years, so we have not based the track on anything in particular. Most of the track scenery we try and keep out of reach of the Children, as we run a family league on a Saturday morning. We do get plenty of damage but we have a got a number of generous members who keep bringing additonal scenery up to us. We do have problems with the extreme temperatures we have in the UK but I would like to think that the track and power to all six lanes is more consistant now than it has ever been. If any of you Guys are visiting the North Birmingham area, drop me an email and if I can get there, I'll open the Club for you to run a few laps. Cheers Simon |
