These were built before digital cameras.. atleast until I owned one...
My first experience with a routed track was back in the mid 60's when a friend of my dad routed a 2 lane track 4'X16' it was a blast back then....
Then the late 80's came and I helped a track owner redo this track, I was already a self employed cabinet maker, still am...

That was a fun track, especially when we did the Nascar series that lasted for 2-3 months..I forget...And that was my first and only experience of race in a group 27 race...

Then later early 90's I built my first track a little 4 lane... The doughnut was Formica covered and the rest was melamine surface..That doughnut was 3/4'' particle board and a bear to get it into shape...


Then this one in a friend's basement mid 90's... We ran a lot of 4 1/2'' nastrucks on this one ..the ss were really great....


Then I built a try oval 4 lane for the beer can wing sprints which there is no photos.. and built a try oval for Rick Weld...

And the last track I built was made to take apart and took up a 9' X 16' space..I built it in the late 90's and had it in storage until 2006...Then sold it...






Now I am leaning toward a modular system that could be set up into different layouts....
These are 3 1/2' X 7' sections I drew out a few yrs back...But now will change them to a 3 lane ...





The only drawback is its limited to flat track..... and no overpasses....

So, did you ever build tracks commercially?

Looks as though you could have done easily.

Great jobs, all of them.

They look like they would be a blast to run on.

The modular idea is great - looks like you can get a great deal of variety from those sections.
