Build Journal: Ozark Mountain Speedway
I made some things. Not sure where they are going yet.
Love what you are doing, the track is looking great and I have enjoyed your updates
Got some new things for the Turn 2 parking lot.
- That gray semi/rv boat hauler is very interesting looking! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- I have one, the boat is real cool looking — dr_dodge
- the track is looking great! — dr_dodge
- Thanks Dutch and Dr_Dodge. I'm actually going to be painting the Boat hauler and boat up and sending them off to Bay City Diecast for the track. — JBlotner42
GREAT WORK, and good job seeing it through
So I have been wanting to change the way Turn 3 works.
Currently it is a 90 degree right turn made from Crash Racers track and I dislike some of the interactions it causes cars to have.
I have been thinking about how to make this corner into a 270 degree Left turn that will still spit the cars out in the same direction.
Ill need a couple of 45 degree turns before the corner on the downhill straight to give me enough space away from the wall to allow for this type of turn.
This picture shows the current corner and a VERY rough sketch of the change I want to make.
I have not figured out where exactly on the downhill I am going to add that slight juke to allow for this.
- I agree on the CT 90's. instead of 2 - 45's reposition the upper corner. and the straight — dr_dodge
- I thought about that but because of the layout I would have to move the entire top sections over as well. — JBlotner42
- Looking at it while posting gave me an idea. Do the 45s right after the second 180 crossover and still have 5 to 6 foot of straight before the turn. — JBlotner42
I wish you well & hope to see your track on YouTube.
- As soon as it gets a bit warmer. My garage is Climate Controlled, meaning whatever the temp is out side is the tem inside as well. — JBlotner42
- lol — dr_dodge
Potential idea for the turn using the track parts I have laying around.
Here are some pictures of the entire thing. I'm slowly working on filling out the background and adding interest pieces.
- nice, runs smooth — dr_dodge
- I like it nice layout and smooth run. I hope mine runs as well as yours. Can't wait to see it finished — Sunshine_City_Garage
Test run with the Volvo Camper
- Cool! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Way cool. Track looks great. — alva1370
- The track looks great! It is going to be epic when you're done! — Sunshine_City_Garage
- I really like that layout! very nice job! — dr_dodge
It's kinda cool seeing where you started to where you are now with this track. It's looking really good, nice job. If you ever want a few modified cars to run down the track, cars that have raced on other tracks and are decently fast, let me know. I'd be happy to send some your way for testing.
- Thanks! I'm going to resist the urge to do that until I get some padding on the floor around the track in case of cars leaving the track. Don't want any (more) bent axels. I'm also going to have to move it off the wall it is currently on to the ajoining wall to make space for garage renovation. — JBlotner42
Track lighting. Light is important, or so I'm told.
Just moved the chicks out of the garage which freed up 2 of my 3 dome lamps. 5 Daylight bulbs and the tube lights do alright.
