We mainly race on wood now,but I needed a temp track that will be an oval for our Midgets and bombers.Ran across this heck of a deal from Frank's wife on e-bay.I've had Artin before but only R1 curves.This set comes with the R3 and R4 curves.Man they are fun to drive thru.While this will be a 4 lane oval,right now I'm just having fun with the track.You forget how smooth the artin track is and how well it connects.Plus it came with four of the stockers.Kinda forgot how fun they are too..

That's a nice amount of track. How are the stock electronics?
Even though I've got Scaley Sport spread all over the floor of my attic, I've been considering picking up one of these sets. The amount of track that you get is quite appealing.

The old JC Penny Artin deal ( two four lane figure 8s at $59.00 each) is really what got me back into home racing years ago. While I wouldn't trade my current routed track for anything I kinda miss the flexibility plastic track offers sometimes. And Artin was/is good track. I was always puzzled that they left the 32 scale market.
