Home Racing World

Well I've got my rally track up and running.
Ninco Track
10'4" x 4' with a 2'x2' 'lip' to make the L
Right now I'm using Ninco Pole position for the timing. I'd like to get TrackMate at some point.

I still have a lot of work to do getting the track painted and doing more with the scenery. I've always wanted a full snow themed rally track and it's finally, if not slowly, happening.



A good use of the Rally loop track pieces if I do say so myself.

Toppen!

Nice work. Looks like it will be a lot of fun.

cool bridge, I bet the cars look neat going over it

cowboy fan in Ohio, is that legal :lol:

Thanks guys. The track is a lot of fun and as bibbster said a departure from what I normally do. Dad came over last night for some trial laps and he had a blast. The bridge with the crossover and 'the split' are just too cool. I love watching the cars maneuver through those spots.
Thanks Harry, I had to look Toppen up on google...and now I know :D

Jon - I'm not sure the local bengals fans can offer a viable alternative to being a fan of other teams so I get away with it. That collection of figs is 1 thinner than it was a few months ago as the romo fig went into the garbage can recently :evil:

Looks like you've made a fine start. I long for a rally track, but can't squeeze anything more into this place.

Looking forward to watching it evolve.

Very Cool!!Some of the most fun we have had was with the rally cars.You have the perfect setup!!

I love it! And you used Ninco track :dance: ......I suddenly don't feel so alone. Are the "snow" tracks really that much smoother/slicker or is it just for looks?

You are not alone, I'm a big fan of Ninco track. I have used their snow track in the past and it is very slick. The white track you see in the picture is just standard track that has been painted. Eventually I will have it all painted white.

That looks like a fun track! I like the bridge.

Ah but more snow is coming. I found a link with some video of the Rally Sweden stage of the WRC...
I still contend the Rally Drivers (and the fans that line the track) are nuts!

scroll down and there should be a couple of videos.

Well I've finally got the track all painted and added some trees, 'sky', railing etc. There is still much to do but I am pleased with the progress so far. It amazes me how quickly a layout 'eats up' trees. I thought I had a lot but after getting them all down I could still use many many more. I also plan to have the track lined with 'spectators' at some point, so I need find more people.
Anywho, here are some updated photos

Ok, that looks GREAT....I want to race on that!

Wow, nice all around job sir.

That's really beginning to take on some personality now.

Keep up the good work.

Wow James that looks great. I have always wanted a rally track. On trees i could not have said it better. Every time you add a few it looks like you should add more. Jim

That is awesome!!! I still want to build a rally track with snow. I think it looks fantastic.

I hope Darth Maul doesn't drop in...that could leave a mark!
