Well I recently completed a permanent 115' plastic track in my basement and then I managed to talk my wife into letting me build a routed track. I'm still not sure how I managed to do that but I did.
Here are some pictures of the build.
I used 2"x4"'s and plywood to contruct the track table.
I found a CNC operator to purchase the MDF and route it for me. I was more than happy to avoid having all that MDF dust in my house.
Greay primer was put down first.
Several coats of magnetic primer was then added to the corners for those that race with magnets.
The corners were then taped and painted with red and white stripes.
I then cut backer board into 3" strips and printed out a lot of color sponsor banners and placed them around the track for borders.
Black paint was then applied to the rest of the track surface.
Copper tape was put down over the weekend using this great taping tool, which made the job very easy.
Driver stations, power supply and timing system are up next.
Thanks for looking.
John
