Picture Up Top

The picture at the top of the page is fantastic. I think I saw this track several years ago, perhaps on the old site. It fascinated me then and it continues to do so. Great job and thanks for sharing it.

Patrick, I think it was on this site a couple years ago, not the old site. If you dig back, you should find the thread.

Found it from 2012 on HobbyTalk. [ http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthrea ... t=leadfoot ] Ralph, you and I both posted on it there! I knew I had seen it somewhere quiet a while back. Regardless of where I first saw it, I am still amazed at how real it looked.

Having modified some t-jets with braid before and seeing that they'd work well on copper tape, I was impressed.''

Wow. I just saw this tonight. I'm honored to headline the page. I built the track about three years ago, but just the other day saw the call for Reader's Roads material in the Oval Racing World section, so I seized the chance to make a contribution.

Yeah, I should try cutting up some different bodies just to see what happens. I have the Dodge 330, Impala, and Studebaker which have some potential, but I just haven't yet developed the quick eye to see them as dirt modifieds. I guess it's one of those things that you can't mess up too bad, so maybe I'll jump in this winter and turn out some dirt track mongrels. Thanks again for the kind words. -Brian

That track does look good! For more variety the Willys coupe can be cut up to make it into a '60s vintage NASCAR type Modified or Sportsman. Resin Dude has a good selection of bodies that you might use.
