Well Mountain Raceway

Well some time ago I started my work on the "Well Mountain Raceway" and during the winter i came up with this track:
Well Mountain Raceway

Since the beginning of the spring I've moved the track outside and into the old chicken pen, re-arranged the track to this new layout "- edition klondyke" and build it on a table construction of some sort.


Explained Overview


A quick run through of the new 56 meters:

"Cradle Rock Boulevard" is where it all starts and it will take you straight to the
"Reservoir Corner" which will lead you up and through the "Gravel Pit Hairpins" and to the
"Great View Viaduct" after the last hairpin you'll continue down the
"Getaway Trail" which ends at the
"Goodwood Funeral Grounds" after this comes the
"Tomahawk Bend" and "Tornado Drive" which ends in the
"Tumbleweed Turn." Continue along
"Buffalo Hump Road" ease gently to the right at
"The Drugstore Inc." and via the
"Frontier Path" to "Eagles Beek Curve."
Then you'll pass the Whippin Post" and start working your way up through the
"Heavy Pooh Planes", last but not least you'll take the
"Thanks Giving Passage" which will ultimately return you to the finnishing line at
"Cradle Rock Boulevard."

Hope you'll enjoy the ride
It's still 3 weeks for that big danish Sct. Hans Bar'B'cue so if your close to Well Mountain please pass by for a test drive :)

Kind Regards From Denmark

The room that you are using just goes to show how robust and versatile Scalextric is


If you kept there over the winter, would you be able to get ice on the track for that genuine winter race feel?

It may be hard to control the cars wearing ski gloves!

I was very supprised that noting really happend to the track, except from dust, dust and more dust.
Actually, when I had taken it all down, the same night we had a rain storm, and the classic selection, got all soaked in water due to holes in the windows close by. :-(

But they survived aswell :)
hopefully I'll get to do something to this room over the winter so it'll be of better use next summer.

Cheers & enjoy life to the max.

Wow! What a fantastic job you´ve done mate!

Please don´t let your spirit down because of the fate of nature! Get back to work and recover the track.


And I believe you should take advantage of the coming christmas and get some nice good priced plastic christmas trees ,make little pine trees and add on your track. I´ll do that!

..so next summer you´ll have a lot more to do!
cheers!

Thx Mr. Cerante, I can only aspire to your level of sceenery wizardry.

You can pretty much run over your old scalextric track with a Panzer Tank or tractor and still bend it back in shape and run it, prior to building this track some of it had been lying around the loft for about 20+ years.

Some WD40 took care of it and it was up an running in a couple of hours.

Conserning the trees :) this was my first effort, :)
but check this link and you'll see that I've developed them further :)

Havn't tried the toilet paper yet. :)

Keep up your exelent work :)
