John, don't let your balloons get busted. 
There are loads of options available to you. If you want an 8' x 6' track then a smaller track system with tighter corners might be better. In 1:32 scale Scalextric would be the best choice for that area, and Carrera would probably be the worst. But you could also think about smaller scales. Scalextric, Carrera, and many others make 1:43 and HO scale cars and track.
But if you've got the option of a bigger track space, then I'd go for it, because now you've jumped down this rabbit hole, I'd bet a pound to a penny that you'll want more than an 8' x 6' space within a few months, that's just how it goes.
Anyway, here's an idea for an 6' x 14' Carrera Track...
