Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2015 3:30 pmGreat job. I have a couple of questions though. What are the tires and yellow tape for? Looks like your group does an excellent job of respecting the crossover, did that take some learning ?
On my Nascar Cot's, I wired an LED into the cockpit to see when I need fuel. I turn the light off so it only blinks when a pit is needed.

Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2015 5:36 pmThe yellow paint is warning stripe that you are in the crossover lane.
Tires are anything from silicone to YD urethane. Oops, wrong tires. The loose tires are just our version of scenery! They are made from heater hose and we like crashing into them and seeing them roll down the track!
Most of the guys do have a LED in the car to help with pits and fuel, but we have two monitors hanging above the track and with Bruce's software it is pretty easy to see and hear when you need to pit.
We have a lot of fun with it. We have four regular tracks in our group rotation now and all of them are three lane D132 with the crossover design. It takes a while to learn the crossover. It is fun, and occasionally you get to shove some poor guy from behind into oncoming traffic. :mrgreen:
