I realize this is an old thread I am bringing up ...BUT,
I've been putting a lot of thought into how best to get a small track at home. It occurred to me that I may be able to roll out carpet when I want to race my cars then roll up and put away when not in use.
We have a large rectangular paver stone patio in our backyard. The paver stones are even and level, yet they do have a small dip between each stone. I dont think this would be an issue once carpet is laid over the patio stones? The area we have is 20' x 40' approx, -I think this space could work for my 1/18th and two "mini" 1/10th on-road cars (they're a tamiya mini which is kind of a 1/12th scale and a TOP sabre 4wd mini). I am thinking the 1/18th scale would work best ...mostly I want to be able to get some drive time in w/o having to drive 2 hours or wait for the next club event. And I don't want anything permanent in the yard ...hence why roll away carpet is what came to mind.
Does this sound feasible?
What kind of carpet ?? I was thinking of going to home depot and getting some industrial tiny to no pile carpet ...something like this:

Has anyone else done this? Photos please!
