Looking good. I bet that will be a real challenging course once it is completed.

Mike - I figured you had something up your sleeve...after all, it is halfway through March and I was worried you were slacking off!
The change looks good. That corner looks like it is tight and challenging...perfect to me!

A great modification, I love the idea of cars racing through village streets . . . Targa Florio in Mendo!
Thanks,

Great mods!
Love the rise over the bridge leading into Sand Dune Hill - pretty cool addition.
(along with the slick "city street racing"!)
:D

I love three dimensional slot car tracks. My funnest cars over that hump are the Carrera Classic Nascars. You crest that hill with the power dialed up and the car going pretty fast. Hitting the brakes as you just break over the top of the hill will keep the nose down in the slot while the tail end gets airborne. You can hear the bump as the rear wheels make contact with the ground just in time to allow the braking tires to haul her down to corner speed. If your car doesn't slow, it will go head on into the vaulted ceiling at the end. That is why I have two natural sponge "shrubs" on the outside of that corner. They cushion impact if any car that shoots the corner. I like to tune my cars nose heavy precisely for running in this section of the track.

That looks great Mike.
I have never seen your track before, but now I think it is one
I would like to run on. Very interesting layout, some good technical areas, and
I love the scenery aspects of any track.
Well done Mike.
