Our new 4 lane H.O. Slot car Track

Always wanted back into the hobby, and I have a gf who is as nutty as I am for over a year now, so I didn't need an evil plan after all LOL! Basically, we taught each other framing, and built two solid 4 x 8 tables after Dad's basement had a small flood. It's ~65 ft per lane, 4 lanes of mostly TOMY / AFX H.O track, and currently just needs me to finish the #VIASUE and #RaceCoordinator timing system. Should happen soon because it debuts with friends June 12 -2022. Anyway, here's the very first run of the blue lane with a MIATA (of course)

Thats cool. Thanks mate

[@vzzmhx]

Sweet 😎👍

[@brianyoung8226]

Very nice track. Is your track 16 feet long, did you use the full length of the two 8 foot tables. Also how wide is your track?

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

4 x 16, this was my very first video- feel free to check out my latest "REDESIGN video"! Thx for checking in!

Criss Cross just adds a new element of awareness. Just like racing with "fuel" its no longer just race until the clock runs out but now just how far/fast can I push it! Its your track race it how you like it! By the way, what camera are you using? Keep it in the slot!

Nice layout and greetings from northern Alberta Canada 👍

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

Hello to you too, "ay?" lol. I'll have a few more vids up soon for our first official race this week. Cheers!

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

@@Dracoool Oh! lol

[@ottodetroit]

[@tedulmer7880]

Fifty years of building tracks, I never understood the crossover track, it's just to cause crashes?
Other than that it's a great track

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

Long gone, as is the squeeze track, but it was just another piece at the time.

[@russellcurrie6099]

cross over tracks may be utilized to equalize lane lenghts

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

@@russellcurrie6099 the crossover tracks and the squeeze tracks are long gone. This was my first video! Thx for coming in!!

[@jeffnorbert1871]

Car breakers.

[@allworld8052]

Is the track afx or viperscale

[@SL-dr8be]

is this the afx super track added track

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

Nah it’s a Giant with added track. Check latest “scenery” video for the most up to date

[@artsmart07]

very nice except for criss cross tracks- no way man. (grin) Honestly that ruins the race experience of a nice track as you already have inside and outside lanes with the switch backs of the design - remove those asap! lol (rotate lanes for even races)

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

We already rotate lanes.... criss cross has been fine so far...

[@randy1817]

yeah, not a fan of criss cross..

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

@@randy1817 Yeh.... I'm finally in the process of removing it- just dreading the repaint of the turns (cuz straights I can flip)

[@slotcarsandhotrains]

WHAT no decor!

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

OH STOP U know this was my first video!
