| Post subject: | Parking lot track |
I am not sure if this is exactly an xray issue but the track my club runs on is made up and dismantled each race and practice day. It is set up on the asphalt parking lot at the rear of a local electrical appliance store. The club has no picture of the track yet (that I know of) but I think they are going to post one soon. It is made up from approx. 2 inch pvc pipe the joins are held together with hooks & elastic cord (bungie cord). The parking lot is fairly flat though. Terry. |

Also, the track is cleaned each race night just by blowing off the surface with a garden blower. We use both types of tyres foams for nitro and rubber for electric.The cars get plenty of grip with both. This is a club rule but it works very well. Terry |

Thanks for the advise. This is an xray issue because if I can't, I'm not going to buy a T2. So I guess it can be done. Thanks a lot. |

This is how we solved the same problem http://www.autopilots.lv/?id=263&pic=26 PVC + bags with sand + some flexible pipe for corners |
