Possibly starting new onroad track
So I need some info from some members on tech. The area that I'm working with is 65ft long by 60ft wide. Is that long enough to run 17.5 blinky touring?? Does anyone have info on the square piping that I see a lot of tracks use?? Also what is a typical lane width?? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

If so we have had a lot of fun on a track smaller then that in Florida
The box PVC is from CRC racing or calandra I think
Lane width should be about 8 to 10 ft
I will se if I can find you a link on the track
Good luck hope you can get it going

Yes the building already has a commercial grade carpet installed. Does anyone run 21.5 touring??

2" square pvc downspout from your local hardware store. Use 2x2 (I think) wood blocks in the ends as connectors. Screw it into one pipe, then slip the other on. Squares of industrial strength velcro on each end and the middle hold them in place, with bricks velcroed down behind the pipe where people are more likely to hit it. Works awesome, inexpensive, and very fast to set up and tear down.
There's another thread on here somewhere where Kody posted some good info on how our track is constructed.

The big question is will we get traction on carpet that is not designed for racing?? Does anyone else run on different carpets around the world?? Any input on that would be great. Thanks.
