I am so impressed with all the things you guys are doing with this club. You must have been thinking about this club for months, if not years to come up with such innovative ideas. I really hope I can find the time to go race and practice at your club this summer, if you don't mind having a french Canadian in the pits

sure you're welcome to join us and we all ready have some french canadians in the pits, and asians and italians and philipino's and jamaicans and....well you get the picture, the more the merrier!

I've been busy...here are a couple of my latest pieces of work...(Hoping to pull the TC3 out of storage at the end of the summer and give it a good shakedown). I should mention that my offroad design lacks bumps and jumps because the version of trackmaker I use doesn't include them, but I will tr and include the hand drawn version so you can see where everything fits

I've attached the layout of our new local indoor carpet track when it was first completed in January and the current layout as of the beginning of May.
We don't have as much space (keeping 8' ROAR legal lanes) and have to re-use the piping without any additional, so its kinda tough to switch around at times.

I am guessing the most common barries are PVC Pipe, 2x4's ...

Three are fast and two are mixed.
Names:
1. "Double Oval" - balance of left/right turns
2. "Oval S" - right biased turns
3. "Power chicanes" - right biased turns
4. "Loop D Loop" - balance of left/right turns
5. "Small Snake" - right biased turns
