Cool Track Accessory

most of you probably have already seen this, but for those who haven't, I think this is one of the coolest things you could do to your track...
could you image night races?

That is cool. I'd have to go and give my cars headlights, then I'd screw up the handling, but I'd have to do it.

that's what I'm talkin bout...

my truck handles pretty good with the lights
I got a little putty behind em too to keep light from shining back in so it adds weight - could be the difference

you know what would really be cool?
those chaser lights...
you could have em chasing eachother down the track, showing the direction and causing you to loose concentration when you zone out on "all the pretty lights" lol

I just thought of this. Don't know if its been done before.

You could make a track out of plexiglas set in plywood or something (so only the track part was clear) and light it from below. It'd be crazy with a couple strobes or somethign underneath lol.

I've always wanted to do something with fiber optics too, slowly rotting the hue - shit, now we're thinkin of a night club track lol

Ok, this doesn't really go with the other track ideas, but...

You could put hazards on ur track that you have to drive around. Like you could modify a mousetrap or something to be a pressure sensitive catapult, so if you hit it, you're gone lol.

gonna be some people on the track completely pissed lol
one of the hazards I've always wanted to try was having a 3 inche diameter clear hose or pipe, that would run underwater, to and from the track surface.
so you gotta line it up just right and keep it floored through the tube, you'll be driving through lets say a fish tank where you can scare all the little fishies as you cruise on by lol

Well its not like you are gonna leave them on for 24/7 plus I am sure you will notice any sign of fire.... Unless your friend is hot and her room is always on fire with her in it then I would suggest to toss cold water on her every so often
