RCP track ideas
I posted some pics of my latest home rcp track layout. It might give some ideas for people that have a support pole in the way of making your track bigger. I cut the track out, so the pole is in middle of streight. I padded the pole. I took out the wall, added thin strpes of track to fill in and made foam plugs to fill in where the holes from track wall pins were. That gained me a couple more inches at pole. As you can see i used the long front streach as the wall for both streights. I also rounded the 1 corner off.

The foam i put around is the track walls cut in half. I put yellow tape around to see it better. Plenty of protection for cars and doesnt take to much room up.

I agree, very nicely executed.
That pole is pretty scary, but at least it's right after a turn, so speeds wouldn't be too high at that point.

That pole spices it up a bit . Where i run 1:10 we have a light pole to deal with, and it's solid concrete and the guy the runs it doesn't pad it . However since he lets us do the track leyout we useally try to put a board there.

You could always add some more obstacles/traps and stuff to make it more interesting.
