Hey good looking track Paul. I like the changes you made. The "line" looks better now I think. :)

 

Todd

 

thanks Todd

 

Yes the line is better, Track is now @ 18m in length and my son holds the lap record at 6.915 sec in a VZ Commodore (V8 Supercar). I will start racing some GT's soon as I get their MJK tires fitted, I know these will be at least a sec quicker but at the moment we are enjoying the V8 racing.

 

One thing I noticed last night while playing with the timing software is the amount of rubber that is starting to get laid down on the track, I think the times will start to come down now, just need a few good drivers to stop by for a few laps to realy test the track.........I'm thinking of holding a race meeting, just need to see who is interested :)

Ok

 

Here are the last pics of the track, it is For sale!

 

need to move it on so Gold Coast Raceway II can take its place.

 

I've learnt a lot from this track build and expect the next to be better.

Best of luck Paul.

The next one should be great, tell Cody not to worry too much, but to get used to it!

By the time you're on track #3 or 4, he'll be used to it! :)

I've drawn up that many designs this weekend that the poor boy is confused :D

Time to call last laps and bid it farewell. Hope you're happy with what it achieved.

 

Enjoy the new adventure.

Computers. They'll never catch on.
