That's pretty poor service... go and get it yourself Dave.
Spy before you buy!!!!

How much neg camber have you got on that Old Prem?

I told them what i wanted in person, and they sent the wrong stuff, they sent 70 x 35 merch..

Frame base is completed...

Neg camber on the Prem is set for circuit racing... ....NAH flat left front

[Davnic74]

Ok, First pic i know it's not much but considering the stuff up's im sorta happy it's started...

4.2 x 2.0, the top will be 5.5 x 2.0

Looks good Dave, are you going with your original layout shown here?

[Davnic74]

Unfortunatly not Rob, won't fit if i'm to have 4 lane's at 100 mm centre's.

[Davnic74]

I have decided that Gallery Raceway will be an improved version of the old Heany Park International Raceway...

Most corner's will be opened up and the straight that was the over pass will go under.

So long as you are not a screw loose Dave all should turn out alright!

I like this side of the hobby. All the designing, building, scenery etc. Racing is the other half of the fun.

I look forward to your progress.

Almost ready for routing, just asking any opinion's!
Each line is the outside or inside lane except along the front straight (barrier line)

Don't be shy...

Here goes!,........What time tomorrow for first run?????



As "expected" from a slotpro like you Dave, all looks good and am sure it will come together just fine.

Best regards,

If your driver's stations are along the main straight, visibility behind the over pass m ight be a problem when braking for the hairpin. From experience...

Thank's schuey,

In that case i will leave that back section up higher and start to drop it down near the silver car in the pic.

[schuey19]

Maybe a downhill hairpin ala Symmons Plains?

[knoath]

I'd straighten out that kink 'over' the return straight, it looks pretty violent....

And I'd go for driver's stations where the young slotter stands!

It's all coming along pretty quickly Dave... the design has been simplified a fair bit from original though...

That's another option so that you won't have to raise the hairpin lead in.

[Davnic74]

I think your right Dick..doing that solve's 2 problem's i have.. WOOHOO.

But create's a visibility prob for the left hander going onto the main straight

Have decided to do 105 mm centre's although one lane has measured at 98 mm on the straight

OPP'S....
Try again, as i am planing to raise this section the car on the inside lane would hit the board on the right especially 1/24.
