Ignore all the lane changers in v1.0 - They were easier to put in the designer instead of pit in/outs so I could also get lane lengths.

Average lane length is 14.85m on a table 5.4m x 2.4m

What a cute photo of your niece - that smile is worth a million. My daughter had a curly head of hair just like that when she was that age - I bet you are her FAVORITE uncle!!

Excellent progress so far on the track...

She's a better slot driver than most people i know, rarely ever de-slots. And LOVES minis. If she sees a 1:1 mini in a carpark she has to run up and give it a kiss on the bonnet badge haha

My only concerns with your table design are 1) weight... all that chipboard will be friggin heavy to haul into and out of an event location; and 2) durability... I hope you're planning a hard lacquer finish of some kind that can take some abuse, because the chipboard won't stand up to regular dis/assembly for events, especially with your slot assembly design.

The layout is nice, but with such a huge open space, I wonder what your plan is for it? Seems at the very least an injudicious use of such a large table. It's a great combination of turns, but with a few more, you could compact it down a lot more, and get the same circuit length in a much smaller area, thereby reducing table size, and all the weight that goes with it.

Since your table is modular, wouldn't you want to only bring the least amount needed to make any particular layout?

Modular, portable table base: Brilliant. Why didn't I think of it. Ply wood with hand hole cut-outs would likely be lighter and more maneuverable for me.

The Niece: I was trying to figure out who went back in time, found Shirley Temple then brought her back to play with slot cars. Precious.

All The Best,
