Ken's Raceway (Club)
The latest entry into the
South East Michigan club racing scene is this really cool 3 lane 1/32
layout. An incredible 80+ feet of racing is built into this 6' x 15'
layout. The scenery on this track is particularly awesome and was
fabricated using sifted sand to get different textures of gravel, styrofoam
blocks, painted sections of vinyl baseboard molding (orange & white
boarders) and "gypsylite" material following an article on scenery
building for model railroads. Best of all, the entire track was
constructed on a tight budget for just over $200 in materials with the
youngsters shown above pitching in for most of the elbow grease. Some of
the tight turns require a bit of "dirt tracking" to get around if you
are running a long car such as a 1/32 NASCAR, but in general the track is very
raceable with a really good mix of straight sections for wide open blasting and squiggly
stuff to test the handling capabilities of the cars and the manual dexterity of
the drivers.
