Cool idea Mike! Couple questions:

1) What is the total track area (L x W)?
2) How wide should the lanes to be?
3) Is there a 1 layout per person limit and can we draw a whole bunch up of different ones?

Over/under is a nightmare with wrecks and corner marshals. Especially when we're running nitro and the a team from a flashlight class is marshaling.

just make it so you can make the jumps and make it safe and with all this room make it so you can't cut the track separate the lanes

12ft lanes are you really need just a thought
