OK , yes it says Tracks in the title , Im now starting on the 2nd track , got the first piece Router-ed the other day , lot tougher than I would have thought to try to come up with original ideas and layout for the 2nd one .First track just kinda fell together , like some Zen slot car god was watching over me guiding me through each corner and cut ...OK not really Will be working on # 2 this weekend and will post pics here of the progress Heres a taste of # 1 ( that does not sound right !!!) Cheers Rick

Looks like a wicked drop from the crest of the hill on the short straight side (to the right of the picture as you look at it): better make sure our cars have good brakes!
Have you run some cars on the track yet Rick? What is it like?

Right now its a bit dusty hard to get really going , the fast drop is the long one you can really pick up alot of speed on the way down , almost need a run away lane ;D working more on it tomorrow will see what I can get done Rick
