rebuild the track
i got bored and after seeing my cars perform poorly on a longer track in factory wars i rebuilt my track.
i added 14 inches to the height of the starting gate.
i added 60 inches to the straightaway.
total starting gate height is now 40 inches
the drop is still 8ft
total straightaway is now 11ft
i also added an operational finish line. (THANKS SMITTY)

drop.
Yeah They Are Pretty High Speed. Im Thinking Of Dropping It Down 6 To 7 Inches Cause I'm Having Problems WithThe Left Track. The Cars Come DownThat Drop And The Tires Occasionally Pop Over The Side OfThe Track When It ConVerts From The Drop To The StraighT. So Im Going To LoWer It Little By Little Until It Don't Happen Anymore.
Ok I Changed Dimensions OnE More Time And Got MyTrack Set Up JustRight. The Left Lane Don'T Flip The Cars Anymore So I Believe It's Just Perfect NoW.
Final Dimensions- 36 Inch High Starting Gate
-7 1/2 Foot Drop
-12 Ft 10Inch Straightaway
Oh I Also Built AN Under Track Starting Gate. (Similar To Stroller's)
Now I'm Ready To Host Events I'm Thinking About Having A Harvest Dragway Grand Opening Challenge.
Nice work -I'd race on that track
Have you tried putting some cushioning under the transition. I had to do this to keep cars from jumping off the track -the padding I slipped under the gap makes for a really smooth transition into the flat.
Yeah I did Actually And It Works Prefect. Tomorrow I Will Take Some More Pics Of The FinishEd Product. I Got It Set Up Where It Will Remain Permanently. Also That Way Everyone On Here Will Be Able To See Exactly What Their Going To Be Racing On And What It Looks Like.
Lookin' good!
