Hey all,

Given I only got into slot cars about a month ago (if anymore than that), I just thought I'd post some images of the slot car track I'm working on. My basic plan for the track was to have a 4 lane track with equal lane distances for all. Something I have been able to achieve, though careful planning and design.

Whilst the track isn't even started yet, the tables are almost done, and I do have the track plan from Tracker to post as well.

The Track Plan

And I'll link to the tables, simple because its a large picture, and I haven't been able to resize it yet.

The Tables

Anyway, the length of each lane is a nice 62.61 feet. Giving me a total track distance of 250.44 feet, once you add it all together.

I do realise that I'm using pretty much just standard curves and outer curves. I don't mind inner curves, but it can wait til the next layout to have some experimentation with it.

Basically there are a few tracks around near my place, owners are members of the club I pretty much joined just recently (in Brisbane, QLD, Australia), and it's not fun only being able to race 2 nights a week, so I want my own track to race on. And soon, it shall be complete.

Hi Cyph,

First of all: Welcome aboard!

Great layout you got there! It's nice to see the lanes have equal distances. When I design a new track I make allways they're equally in length.

A little question: I see you made your table in your garage, will it be movable? Or will it stand in the middle of your garage in the future like this? I'm just asking this because in september I start working on my permanent track, and I'll try to make the table attached to the ceiling, so it can be pulled up when i'm not racing.

Well, we can't park any cars in the garage, simply because we're renting this house, and the cars all tend to leak oil, and thus trekking it into the house is bad.

So, it doesnt relaly need to move. but if it is needed to be moved, it's all just screwed together, no nails, no glue, just wood screws and bolts hold it all together. So yes, to that question, I guess

Hrm, I've got to admit, the idea of a 4 lane racetrack is good (and it's good fun in real life as well!), but I'm also sorely tempted to do a nice 2 lane racetrack, as you can fit a lot more track in. But you can't race as many people as once. And if you had 8 people, it'd be pretty boring standing around for your 2 races (once on each lane).

Hrm. decisions, decisions...
