here's my incomplete bootleg bitpimp track, the design was perfect to fit into a small place so i adopted it. it was made of a a piece of 4x4 plywood, and a little less than 50 feet of 1/4 in thick clear plastic tubing. cost me about $30 w/o the cost of nails and a hammer.

as you can see, the bridge is whats giving me a hard time, because i cant figure out how to support cardboard underneath the tubing without sacrificing a nice curve that my cars can get up on. if anybody has any ideas, they would be a big help. :)

oh yeah, sorry for the crappy pics, im only 13, and im not a proffesional photographer. :(

no kidding? it looks bigger in the pic...

no problem man - I don't usually mind, all that stuff will be slightly different as each person puts their own little twists on it.

I take it as a compliment, I get inspiration from you pimps and some pimps might get some inspiration from me - s'all good.

That track is looking pretty good.

Maybe to support the ramps to the bridge you could cut some carboard at the same angle to go underneath it.
