After having my last track for three years I decided on totally starting again.
For me slot cars are more about model making than the racing. I enjoy a few Sunday laps but very rarely have a race night.
My old track was a mixture of sport and classic and included the old classic pit lane, LeMann start and Goodwood Chicane.
My new track is much simpler and will eventually focus more on the scenary.
Its also designed to fold up as I have an old car and may need the space to do work on her over the winter.
Here are a few shots of the early stages.
Table folded up.

So far I have completed just about an 1/8th of the track.

Be good to see what the overall track looks like.
To all those who want to see the overall track layout here a few shots. not a large track 9ft x 4ft.
Sorry its still such a mess as it is very much a work in progress.

Keep up the good work.
Hmmmmm seems like some one has been collecting popsicle sticks, eh?
Cheers!
I use them for most things, fortunately you can buy packs of them. as i dont like ice lollies.
But they are great for making most things and cheap too
