I'm fairly easy to find. Toronto is a small fishing village of about 6.2 million people. I'm the fourth igloo on the left. Thumbup

There's a race at MVL this Saturday. I know it's short notice and all. But hey if I don't invite? You can't consider it. Maybe you own a Lear-jet?

Made a little headway with the track...it's about 1/4 done...time to order the power supplies, and copper tape! [Image: 8ns3Fkb.jpg]

It's gettin' there!

Looks great so far! Thumbup

Well, the track is in one piece finally!

The last join is drying, and the power supplies are in, and tilted toward the drivers!

Next is smoothing out the joins, and touchup paint...then tape and electrical! Should be a fun track!

Looks great.
The longest straight isn't straight and maybe not flat out but tricky. Well done.
I'm very curious how that will play out while racing.

That is huge, so lucky to have such a space. Thumbup

I look forward to all the great track and car pics to come.
Very nice flowing looking track, what a great space you have Thumbup

Are there plans for scenery or just a club style ?
Different and looking cool in white, what was the reasoning for the white laminate ?

Savage, when ever I had my car on the plexi build block, the side to side resistance seemed far greater than my latex painted, mdf track. It got me to researching...it seems the smoother the contact surface is, the more positive the contact patch is! You see this in F1...the softer the tire, the more positive the contact patch is, the better the traction! However, I will find out when I get the track done!
