New CNC Routed
Plastic Track installed March 2005
A recent addition
to our racing facility is a cool 3 lane CNC (computer numerically controlled)
machined plastic track. We got this up and running just in time for the
March 17th "Club Racing" night. This track was designed to be a
"prototype" of a track system that we might potentially invest in to
manufacture. One of our concerns was the adequacy of traction on this
surface, that already has proven to be quite good with this material & for
both magnet cars & non-magnet cars. This track also features magnetic
braid & is designed with a challenging tight "squeeze" area where
the lane spacing narrows down to 2" from the normal 3" spacing on the
balance of the track. A mix of tight turns and higher speed sweeping turns are
incorporated into the layout to facilitate our testing.
"Club
Racing" Shindig March 17th 2005
On occasion we sponsor a free club racing night for all that have interest in
attending. Professor Motor sponsors the event & provides free racing,
free pizza, free pop and munchies. This most recent event launched the new
technology CNC routed plastic track. Some pictures follow from the March
event, please click on each picture to have a larger version pop up. For
