Oval, a good idea? help!

[vonsirius]

I´m plying whith the idea of build a little oval track.

We have a 2 lanes "elra circuit" at home where our four persons "racing club" race once a month or so.
We have room to place a little oval folded at the wall.

The facts are;
:music-rockout:
We can build a 4 lanes little oval whith scalextric classic track we already have.
The laps counter must to be vintage mechanic Scalextric that we also got. (don´t want to spend cash).
We can race up to four at time.

:angry-tappingfoot:
We can make a little use of both tracks and can became a dust collector.
Will be a lot of crashes and maybe no fun.
There will be not to much room for scenery, a little of grass and a little bit more.


It´s a good idea to build it or a waste of time?

Please, help!

Small ovals are a lot of fun! Having just built one I find it is just a great time.

I wondered the same thing at first then I built a small inexpensive oval to try it out. Ever since it was finished it's been in use weekly. I would do it again! The track is on the Ovalracingworld site under tracks if you want to check it out. GO FOR IT :music-rockout: :music-rockout: :music-rockout: :music-rockout:

The cool thing about using Scaley track that you already have.
No huge expense plus, if you don't like the oval, the track can be reused..

My 2 cents worth - yes, give an oval a try. Plastic track, especially if you have it is fine, but if you really want to experience what keeps many of us at HRW addicted to racing consider routing a small oval. Mine is 4' x 14' with 2 lanes (3 1/2 lane spacing). Built it 8 years ago and have run a bazillion laps on it with my grandson.

Its much easier than you might imagine, and affordable. Route it right into the surface and there's no need for borders - powerslide for all yer worth. If you have enough drivers do 3 or 4 lanes, get a handful of evenly matched cars (dirt or asphalt modifieds recommended) and you'll be hooked like the rest of us. With plenty of help from this crew to help you out.
