Hey guys, going back to the boards, we will have the boards set back from racing lane with paint in between, approximately a foot or more on each side. The idea is to have the paint be the first barrier to stay off.

Paint will define the lanes not the boards and with 10' lanes the closest end of a board in the corners will be about 2.5' with a corner dot/combing approximately 6" inside the corner. This is before laying down the boards/tape to get a better measurement.

The widest parts of the track will be the back straight and sweeper @ 16' wide.

Good idea. Should visually make it easier to avoid those close calls when youre looking for every tenth per lap...
