After spending about a week with my knock-off mini-96 track - I’m completely hooked. It does not feel slow or confined or any of those negative things I thought it would be. I wish I had just ordered this in the first place.
In a week I went from > 6 second laps to averaging 4.75-4.85 second laps. My knock-off track requires re-adjustment about every other run and is becoming a general source of frustration.
so I ordered a mini-96 RCP track and it will be here in about 2 weeks... I hope...
hopefully I will get it in time to log an AWD open entry for April.
I had to overcome this same bias, having only raced on the much larger RCP tracks, but because I don’t have that much room at home and the Mini-96 fits my space perfectly, I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did! It has been a blast, made me a better driver on the larger tracks and a lifesaver during quarantine. I’m sure you too will love it when it arrives. Just give yourself some time to get used to it, because it takes more skill than the larger wider tracks.
