What type of pipe is that? It looks like seemless PVC of some type.

The track has very good consistent traction all around and is smooth to boot too.

Great job on that. We have a place that uses PVC pipe but they use a coupler that goes over the pipe and leaves a 1/8" lip and it rips parts off the car if you brush the pipe.

whilst were showing off pics of our tracks, here is our lovely facility in Melbourne, Australia.

This is a fairly old pic, we now run a single layout per 6 month championship, so no longer use witches hats to designate the layout, and have boards in place.
the track runs on a slope, so your going downhill whilst accelerating down the straight, makes for a pretty hairy turn 1 taken flat out.

I have a mi2 I am looking to get rid of, I was just wondering what would be a good price to sell it for. It has the bmi 2 foam chassis and thick top deck. It has steel drive shafts and is pretty much stock.

PW or Adrian any ETA of the new shirts and hats with the new logo on them?

Justin, Wyd will have all the info you need for both Jackson and Frederick. I still havent been to either with the new car yet. I would bet that setups are going to be very close. I am going to start out this weekend with my setup on the car and if I have time switch it over and try yours. Theres a few things I want to try still on what I have already on the car. I will post something up next weekend with what I ended up running.
