How many tracks do you run regularly?
Do you have just one track setup that you run all the time, or do you manage several tracks?
I'm doing some planning for the Fantasy League and other updates, and knowing how common multiple tracks is for any one person will help.
For those that do car mods, you're creating many cars during a year for mail-ins and I'm going to be adding a feature that lets you show them off in a personal gallery. Just wondering if such a thing would be useful for tracks too...but it would only apply if people have multiple tracks that they manage.
I only have 2 tracks so I don't even apply to the "many tracks" thought...and I'm guessing most of you just have 1 track that you keep working on and tweaking. But figured I'd ask.

Same here one Drag Tracks set up.... mainly due to its ease of getting straight and fair lanes. I do change up the drop height and length at times , but most of my testing and tuning is done on one set up.
In a perfect world I'd have a seemless orange track with a timing system. Some day....
- One of these days I will try to get that kind of track set up here also. — KandORacing

I have 2 tracks I run. I run the 6 track starting gate and 6 track finish line. Various lengths and variable number of lanes, but usually 20 ft of 2 lane. I also run a 25 ft blu-track with a homemade under track start and the 6 track finish line. The track has a variable height adjustment. Both tracks use a rice bag stopping system that stops the cars without any damage so far. All races are under cover (Back yard patio and cover.) ..........Stroller
Well I have my track wich is 4 1/2 foot tall and a 12 foot slant drop and a 12 foot flat I race on but I also do mail my cars to the ljlrc on a monthly basis to race and I also travel to Iowa to race at melon city race association and iowa to orange track racing I have video of these places and my track on youtube serch whiteimpalass2 to see the tracks
I have one two lane track, but I can adjust the starting gate height to either 34" or 46". The first 6 ft are at about a 45 degree angle, followed by a 40" kicker at about 30 degrees, and then about 8 ft. of flat track. I am able to lengthen or shorten the track depending on what room it's in. For the most part it's in the basement and right now it is set up for a start to finish length of 16 ft.
Like many, I have LOTS of HW track but not much room to set up in. My typical drag set-up is 12'-14' with a 4'-5' drop(low angle w/kicker ramp). My fast road courses can use up to 40' of track and basically take up my entire living area. As far as 'local' club races, all have used the Expert Drag Tracks. 'Crazycollector' is supposed to bring his 40' 6-lane track to next year's PA Diecast Carnival. I'm really looking forward to racing on it again!!

I have a drag race track and slot car track layouts, which constantly change, and an wooden open course setup
Due to limited space & funds, I am only able to run 1 track - my dragtracks track. It is a great track for testing on though.
