My track progress

[godale03]

Sounds good Tom! Can't wait to see!

Building a track is alot of work! I mean, I knew it was going to take some effort... but this has been much more work than I had anticipated. Just the maintenance aspect of it takes a few hours a week. I am still not sure I placed the jumps properly... but those are easy enough to move around. I am excited. I spent a few minutes just walking it drinking a cold one last night.

Pictures have been added. They are a little fuzzy because they were taken through the window... it was the highest vantage point without getting on the roof. I took the advice and cut the pipping away from where the lanes touched and ended up providing me enough to finish the track all the way around. Thanks for the tips, and keep them comming.

Thanks guys... Hopefully now I can go into maintain mode... and finally get out of the construction mode. It has taken me since early October of last year till not to finally get all the pieces together. Now it just a matter of keeping the weeds out, and tweaking the jumps and things like that, which is not that bad. Thanks to all the folks that helped with ideas, suggestions and encouragement. I hope to have the "grand opening in a coupled of weeks. It would have been this coming weekend but I am driving damn near to lake erie for a wedding this weeeknd.

C'mon down my friend! Fridge is stocked and bar is open! The swing set is where I drive it from currently... but a real drivers stand is in the works. Hopefully get some time and a few extra bucks to make it happen.

Good to see you on here my friend. Hope all is well with you.
