Ed, 2EZ, Thanks! See you guys soon!
yasuji, Thanks We took some inspiration from your recent elevation experiments How are your guys enjoying it over there? We really like the new lement it throws into racing. I also really enjoy the realsim that gets added with the supensions of the car really working.
Why would we needer a wider straight? The cars are only 4 inches wide, lol. j/k Ill widen it out to 3 ties when I get a bigger room

if you go 3 tiles on the straight it will not take up any more room ... that is the beauty of having an elevated straight..... you can go under it

Its been a while since I updated this, so I thogh Id throw a few pictures up to share what Ive been doing.
The elevation changes have been a blast, but with the straight barely elevated, I wasnt able to take advantage of all the space under it. I decided to go up a little higher, and mount it to the wall, so there is nothing in the way of the track layout below. I just doulbed up the height (went to 2'), so I can still use my modular build-ups to get up and back down. I like how Ive now created a second tier, and it is essenthially bi-level. Ive got a ton of ideas about layout, and cant wait to start trying some new things.
Anyway, here are the pics of the most recent layout!
And one overall shot from the other end of the track room!
I got some great feedback from the folks who have run it allready! Its a lot of fun, and Im now up to a 12 second lap time Just a few months ago we were running 8 seconds on the hardest layouts I could come up with

Ed popped in a spotted my new 'curbing' on the track, and I posted them elsewhere on the forum, so I thought Id update our thread with the current pics of the new track additions.
Here are some pics of the 'dots' in various configurations.
Regular 90
Extra extended on the 90
Altering the entry/exit of the 90
Regular hairpin
Extended hairpin
The outside run-off
I like the curbs close to the walls, so I tucked them down to the minimum. Heres an overview of a section of the track outfitted

Nice shoes. Oh, and dots too. Now just get rid of the yellow and replace it with a nice day-glo red.
