Re: My Big MagTrack
We set up the MagTrack after our regular races last night. It took 3 minutes (we timed it).
A bunch of guys ran the 2 cars for a half hour, looks like most guys will only need one or two hours to get comfortable with it...I'm slowly winning them over, I think

We had a few guys over tonight for some practice. It went way better than the first time. We ran 5 minute races and had 3 marshals and 3 guys racing. Everyone loved it and I finally got a bit of video
Re: My Big MagTrack
Very good video OSR! I Will look at it several times.

Re: My Big MagTrack
After running it in both directions for a while, we've decided that going counterclockwise works best and is a little easier. I've removed the lane change plates for the clockwise direction and added another racing line at the entry to the straight.
What's been most interesting is that each car feels and drives a little different. We've been running 5 minute heats where each driver has to drive each car, IROC style. Too much fun.

Very nice line-p of cars really do like it, very good paint job.
How did you determined the paint scheme, with real live pictures?

Re: My Big MagTrack
Paint schemes are whatever spray bombs I have at the time.
Last night we ran 7 cars for the first time. We had 9 guys rotating through, 7 racing and 2 marshals. Everyone ran each car for 5 minute heats, took about 1 hr 15 minutes and we never changed batteries. Took the video at the end, when everyone was exhausted.

Definitely some great racing acton . Thanks for sharing ...keeps us all motivated to get our own tracks up and running.
Re: My Big MagTrack
That is fantastic OSR. It is very encouraging to see so many cars on the track at one time. What I find even more exiting is TF1250's comment of lap times falling in each consecutive heat. Sounds like people seriously learning racing. Looks like you all had a good time.
