Re: New Track Under Construction at TooBad Motorplex in Fairview
The change looks pretty minor to me. Probably wise to have considered both scales.
Thanks for the updates, and great job!

You're right Mike, the change is pretty minor. The portion of the curve I re-routed was decreasing radius from approximately 5 inch to about 3 1/2 inch. The middle of the curve was redone with a constant 5 inch radius which should make it a smoother transition to the cars. The inside lane now has a radius very close to that of the middle lane.

Re: New Track Under Construction at TooBad Motorplex in Fairview
Spent the day today working on the track. I got a pilot lane routed for the last two turns and two of the three remaining straights, in addition to some misc. stuff. I should be able to finish up the routing with one more full day. Now I just need to find the day! --------------------Bill

Great news and we needed a large 1/32 track in the area for proxy races and proxy car set up. Way to go Bill.

Not that anyone will notice.............almost done with the support structures for the elevations and overpass....
This track has been quite a project so far! Unlike anything I have built before....
