Re: My third track

Yes Luf!
Thanks so much for your pictures. It's great seeing it come together step by step. You are indeed 'THE MAN'.
I'm looking forward to seeing whether or not you add some elevations.

Re: FREE TEST TRACK!

Hi Raudi, Great idea! I wish I could stop in and give it a try. Just a thought-if your demo track is kind of tight and tricky might that be too difficult for beginners? I'm really looking forward to building a track but, like every recreational thing in my life, I'm having to accept the reality of d...

Re: TRACK PLAN

Thanks for posting the track plans!
When a racing line comes very close to the inside lane in a corner, is it possible that the car will move to the lane that you did not intend to follow?
Thanks,
Bryan

Re: Targa thoughts

I've been a fan of miniature things since I was a kid and I really like these buildings. I hope I get a chance to make something like the someday.. I will say,however, the thing that really draws me to the Targa style track is the terrain. Since I got back into slots about a year ago most of my trac...

Re: Track Thoughts

Thanks again Wes, You and Luf have really got my brain going overtime ( like now when I really should be going to bed). I've got a new 25x30 shop so I'm imagining Targa hairpins climbing the wall then winding down to a kind of fast Spa-like section on the cement slab. Total footprint about 24ft x12f...

Re: Track Thoughts

Those are excellent pictures Wes. What a beautiful track. Since you've got the most experience racing magcars and you've built a Targa slot track, could you give some design suggestions for marrying the two? A hybrid having interesting character and elevation AND good "raceability"? Thanks...

Re: MAGjag

Hi Joel, I wasn't quite sure of your question. Are you asking everybody if they're interested in resin body ( and chassis) cars as opposed to modifying slot car bodies onto stock magcar chassis? I would be interested in the resin cars if they were affordable and interesting historic bodies like can-...

Re: Track Thoughts

Wes, Thanks so much for your thoughts on track design. It's really helpful to get this kind of feed-back to save money and, especially, time. I think there are a lot of us out here who really want to get into the hobby and have some but certainly not unlimited amounts of either to put into it. This ...

Re: Another new guy

I live just outside of Portland, Oregon. I'm hoping to get a chance to travel up to British Columbia and see Luf's track some day. Hopefully sooner than later. Are there any other Pacific Northwest people out there?
