ADDING A VIDEO CAR LANE TO DRAG TRACKS
I CUT OFF A SMALL SECTION OF ANGLE STEEL, DRILLED [3] HOLES IN IT, AND GOT A 29" L X 1" W X 3/32" THICK STEEL STRAP AT "LOWES" ...
I GROUND, SANDED, FILED AND FLATTENED IT WITH A HAMMER TILL IT SLID INTO THE SLOTS UNDER HOT WHEELS ORANGE TRACK LIKE A SWORD IN A SCABBARD ...
I THEN BENT THE STRAP TO MATCH THE ARCH OF THE DRAG TRACKS TRANSFER AND 1/2 SECTION OF YELLOW DRAG TRACKS...
THEN WELDED THE ANGLE STEEL TO THE STRAP WERE IT CAN BE ANCHORED TO THE DRAG TRACK'S BASE, MAINTAINING THE EVEN SPACE BETWEEN THE DRAG TRACKS AND ORANGE LANES AND SUPPORTING THE TRANSFER'S ARCH...
BLACK CLOTH TAPE STRIPS WERE TO TRY AND SLOW THE CAMERA CAR... NOPE !... I WANT THE CAMERA CAR TO STOP ABOUT 18" FROM THE FLAGS...SHOWING THE WINNER'S FLAG...
.
THE 3 LANED TRANSFER WILL CONNECT TO THE 3 LANES ON THE STARTER SECTION WITH [3] 10" SECTIONS OF H.W. YELLOW TRACK ;
.
DUAL LANE SPEED BRAKE AND ESSES' "PVC" STAND IS AT 15 DEGREES TO LEVEL... CAMERA LANE WON'T DO THE BURNOUT

bought it for xmas... opened it yesterday... not confident we will play well together
Ha! Well, if it came with instructions you should be able to figure it out.
I MADE A NEW WIDER TABLETOP FOR THE BURNOUT TRACK,
WELDED [3] COUNTERSUNK HEAD 1/4"- 20 SCREWS HEADS DOWN
USED ABOUT 1 1/8" SMALL HOLE FLAT WASHERS WITH SLOTS CUT IN THEM FOR ALIGNMENT, AND PINCH BUMPS WELDED UNDER THE OPPOSING SIDE OF THE WASHER...
ALSO WELDED [2] SPACERS AND [2] 1" FLAT WASHERS TO THEM, GROUND THEM FLAT,
ORANGE TRACK [CAMERA CAR] SLIDES OVER THEM, THEY ARE AJUSTABLE AND RETAIN THE TRACK... ;
.START, BURNOUT, TRANSFER, ANGLE TRACK, TRANSFER WITH THE 3RD LANE ADDED, AND THE FLATS ;
.WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET ! ... NOTE THE REAR SLOTTED WASHER, [LOOK CLOSE, SEE THE PINCH BUMP PRESSING DOWN ONTO THE TRACK UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT TIEDOWN, TRANSFERS THE FORCE DOWN ONTO THE BURNOUT TRACK'S EDGE;]

NOW TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO RUN IT, DOWNLOAD IT AND EDIT IT...
