Hello Allan, I can see you will be very happy with your track. I was initially worried the esses had too many curves but the latest pics show they will be a challenge yet drivable. Onwards and upwards. Regards

[Audi1]

Thanks John. Yes, we took one of the esses out of the chicane and made it so that the three lanes were of unequal length and curvature, as a means to slow down the usually advantageous inner lane. Dickie's idea and a good one!

On to lane painting today! :banana-dance:

A second coat went down on the three braid beds today. Everything still looks the same, just slightly darker, so I'll spare you the pics. Masking the braid beds/slot tomorrow, then painting the track surface.

Allan, I used Sintra as well from a local plastics place here in NH. It is easy to cut and is pretty flexible. I believe I used 1/8".

[Audi1]

I just got a lifetime supply of Sintra........... :lol: It came from an organization called FoamBoardSource dot com and they sell it in 24'x36' sheets; 5 sheets to a pack. I have one pack in 1/8", for the infield barriers, and 1 pack in 3/16 for the outer table barrier", so that should do it........with lots left over..............

It looks like it will cut easily with either a box cutter or an exacto knife...........we'll see.................
