Cool 66.5 feet long track

i'm in the prosses of building my own track in my basement. I planned it all out and it looks like it will be 65.5 feet to drive around it one time. is that a good sized track??

I am building a plywood and 2x4 base for it and covering it with black ozite. the walls are made from 1 1/4 high kydex (plastic) strips cream color.

I'm waiting for my mini-z f1 to come in (wendsday)
and 3 of my freinds said they would buy one also after they see mine. should make for a good time 4 mini-z f1 racing in the basement

jetguy's track

jetguy,

Nice track.
It looks quite technical, so no balls for all flat out racing.
Excellent in my opinion
