It is a Carrera track. Approx 8 x 27 ft. 4 lane. Crossover bridge. Professor motor controllers. MG power supply for now. Copper tape. Approx 15 lights for your night racing pleasure. And a banked corner for Steve's enjoyment.

Jim - thanks for the "teaser" photos. Is this the track you indicated may be available in April? It looks like fun to me!

Well, this track is now gone. I sold it to another member that was looking for a track. I have replaced it with a routed track, first track without a crossover bridge. I am working on routing the gains and then will need to wire the track.

Well the wiring is done. I have XLR jacks working for Marc G. I tested a section of the track and my wiring was a success!!! Just need to finishing routing a section of the track. Then I can assemble all the sections, then to braid the track.
Need to get some fencing work done after the track is all assembled. This track should be easier to marshal than the old 4 lane. No bridge to hide the cars in! When it is "all" assembled, I can run some cars and make some adjustments for "banking" of corners. I think I will throw in an off camber turn for Doug, that will give me "home field advantage".

Ok Doug, I took your advice and leveled the track and took most of the off camber turn out. We can remove the supports and put it back in if you really want it.!!!
