Build Journal: No Budget Speedway

I love building things, I love cars, I love telling a story and I have no money but what I lack in funds I make up for in random junk. My plan is to build a 60' track surface with strips of trampoline mat stretched over scraps of wood, a mini trampoline cut in half makes great 90° corners. I have made two 10' sections so far and the surface is surprisingly really good. And easy to work with. The hard part will be making it easy to assemble/disassemble as my wife thinks the garage is for parking 1:1 cars not racing 1:64. I have a feeling that will not be an arguement I can win.

I think I may be crazy...

UPDATE

I have fully completed two sections of track, the starting piece, three wide and then open track.

You might be a little crazy, but now I want to see where this goes. So, I guess I'm a little nuts too.

Good use of random stuff to make track parts.

(By the way, I have a two-=car garage where one half is my workshop. I hear ya about the 1:1 scale cars .....)

Even with a pretty rough entrance most of my testers made it through withot a ton of sliding or wall bumping.

My 20' x 20' two car garage has two cars in it and my work bench only fits because one of our cars is tiny so I'm jealous :)

Some updates. I have fixed a few issues and found that I can leave a part of the track up and my make shift brackets are holding. Im ready to tie into my first turn and see if it'll work.
