Impulse-ive's Twin Falls Raceway

Postby Impulse-ive » Fri May 25, 2018 1:35 pm

I thought i should post a few pics of the wood routed track I created in my game room. I had previously built a small 15' x 3' track to save room for the pool table so I could do both. but after the building bug bit me i dismatled the lil track, sold the pool tabe and went all out.

This was the first track I made. I actually never took and pictures of it further on when it was running. It was boring, didn't run great for racing and in general it wasn't what I wanted. once I go the wife to agree to selling the pool table I began working with the local track owner on a design for the room.

After about 15 different designs and discussions with the Billy, the track owner I race at I settled on this design...

Then I built the table for the track and started routing sections to begin the build.

This was a little further along when I had decided to make a cliff face on the right so I propped the end of the straight away higher. Once I hade these elevations I could measure the lest corner sections. I did this last because Billy said the geometry would change when I cut in the banking.

This was the cliff that got me thinking of the landscaping

Once the final piece was in and set with banking the fencing started going in.
