<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Looks good
I like the lights on the side of the building and the checked patten is a nice touch. The nascars do look good, I think I might have to get a couple myself. Are you thinking of getting some banked corners for the track? Keep us up to date with your progress.
Hi Jab-Ox,
Yes I would like to add banked curves to the circuit. Unfortunately Ninco does not make them. I would have to purchase the SCX Nascar set to add the banked curves required. I have both the SCX Digital set and the Ninco N Digital set. It's too bad they can't work together. SCX's Pit Box feature would be great with a set up like this. As I said before, it's a simple little garage for now. If I can expand the table to an L-Shape I may try to make a bigger shop? Again thanks for your inspiration.
Regards

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>SPIN, Great Start!!
Where did you get those Lights??????
Thanks Tileguy,
The lights on the side of the building were sold at a local hardware store (Canadian Tire) here in Canada. They are meant to be used as spotlights for miniature Christmas displays. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the company but they are on the web. If I do remember I will port the name.
Sorry.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Aren't those R1's waay too tight for Nascar? i din't know they could turn that tight!
it looks like a well thought out track, and i see you can change it when you want! (no grass around the edge)

Hey Matt,
You are correct in your assumption. The R1's are tight for this style of racing. Currently we have to get off the accelerator to corner carefully until I can acquire more track or sets. I wanted to have a setup where I could at least get a little speed out of the cars and the box art setup on the Ninco track case was way to restraining. The table it sits on is 4X10 feet but I am looking at adding to the table making an L-shape design. I have changed the setup at least 4 times since I got the set for Christmas, so I might leave it for a little while. Too much changing not enough racing.
