Re: Oval test track (go kart track) 4' by 8' - New York

Some laps on the 1/24 scale 'go kart' test track...

Oval test track (go kart track) 4' by 8' - New York

I started a discussion on the Home Racing World slot car oval track forum: Slotless MagRacing Oval but I think this is a better fit over here on the MagRacing Forum. Over the next post or two, I will repost some of that thread into a summary 'journal' of how my test track was built (with a few pix a...

Re: North East USA, NY Long Island!

Sorry - unsure why it posted three times and I am unable to delete or edit them (the 5-minute rule?).

Regardless - Talk to me next time at the track - maybe at the big Modified Tour race?
