The Construction of The THORNDIKE OVAL

In the beginning Lee decided to build a Oval Race Track

Lee Thorndike built it - hence the name

But while he is good with a saw and router he is no good at posting on here so I have posted it for him

Well done Lee it looks a great track

Starting the routing



The inner lane



The Jig to keep the lanes straight when doing the rebate for the braid and also the correct distant apart on the bends



It doing the inner lane



And moved around to keep it inline whilst rebating the slot for the braid so it sits flush to the track



The cut outs for the lane changers



And with the track pieces in position



The back straight cut in



And the power base now added



And the track in full view - Just needs to painted now



Nice work Lee

Not bad for a Saturday afternoon's work Lee

Since then we have added




And here are the Nascars being prepped



The Track Runs

PB PRO SH 13.8V 20 AMP Power
PIT PRO
SSDC V5 For race control
Plus A RICHG LAP TOWER
PLUS FLAT SCREEN DISPLAY

And here it is in it's new Home

HOPE TO SEE LOT'S OF YOU NEXT RACE NIGHT
