IT'S ALIVE!!! I've got the electrics going, and done a few laps...IT'S FUN!!! I still have to put up the guard rails, tape the lane colours, design, and build the timing gantry, and hook up the timing system. I've got the bad habit of getting sloppy when things get close to finished...I have promised myself to take my time with the timing gantry...it needs to be precise for the timing lights to align...patience Doug, PATIENCE!!!

Patience is difficult when a nice track, like yours, comes alive.

Forget about painting the lanes, why don't you just number them...
I love puttering with gears

I don't paint the slot, I just use pin stripping tape and run it next to the copper stuff!

Doug invited me to run a few laps on his new track tonight after supper.
It should be a fun evening.

Doug's track is a blast! Lots of fun swooping around the room!
Looking forward to the next race session.
Thanks a million, Doug!
Cheers,
Ken
