Hello there!

I have just put in my gallery a few pics of my latest track the"Hyman Memorial Speedway" which I have designed (TM) and created most alone last year and contunue making it better today.

Any question and\or suggestion is very wellcome!

Here's a pic and the link to My Gallery!

I forgot to say that it is possible to change the layout moving the tube in the curves..pics will come soon!!

It looks like the lanes are pretty narrow for my taste, but it's a damn fine lookin' track, that's for sure. Nice work.

They're not narrow, they're about 15 cm wide, sometimes more\less like in the 3rd piece with the bridge.
you can drive on it quite good with every motor you want, I usually use 3.0 LXXs 1-2 speed and sometimes 2.2to 4.2.

OK it's not easy to race on it, the plastic tube stops the car if you go for it!
I made it like it is because of the space in my room, 90\100 cm are not many but I prefer the track to be a Bit more difficult like in the "real" world!!

If you measure a U turn it's about 30cm or less.

I just meant narrow compared to how we drive... SuperFly and I always end up with a simple layout and wide lanes (more like 60 cm wide) so the racing is fast and the crashes are few.

I'd like to build a track like yours for driving by myself... with no other cars in the mix, a more challenging layout would be cool.

Either way, it's a beautiful track.

I don't use it very often,I prefer like you a O track, I use Perfection (LEGO like) pieces to make an oval on,my desk, then I take empty LXX chassis, put destruction derby like bodys on them and start racing\chashing around!!!!..will put pics about this soon.

That rocks, I'd race on it. Gotta love tracks with details and themes. Nice work on the hyman. (teehee)

Thanks Cabo, glad to hear you like it,...if you plan to came to Venice one day, take your beetle pick-up with you and race against mine on the Hyman MS ...OK??

Love it. Nuff said.

It is narrow, but understandably so. I just personally get all hot and bothered w/ well detailed tracks.

I like the idea of the surgical (looks like) tubing real cool idea! Vary clean track what is the surface made out of? Is that just painted wood?

Real sweet job man!

really nice man! i bet it get's exciting going through those tunnels!

Glad to hear you guys like it, the only thing I can do now is...invite you here for a ride!!!

The surface is made of painted wood, not primered to have a less slippy surface,the tube is like the one we use for the wine and the tunnel is very exciting (you see the car passing trough).

Though I'm Mad I continue adding details (Homies,signs,parts) like the 3rd part where there is the bridge and the pit stop, I added it 3 months ago after a friend said...where's the bridge!?

You can store it behind a cupboard because it is made up of 3 pcs..5mins and it's ready!

Dang I would love to go to Venice only trouble is I don’t think my wife would buy the old “Dear I have to go to Venice to try out an RC track there will be back in a month”.

Hi guys

Though you guys liked the track I wil post a couple of more pis of it from my BP Gallery.


Notice the multiple layout near the sponsor and fan area



Sorry for putting them one next to another but I didn't wanna make a LONG post.
There are a few more pics in my BP Gallery

Here what they show:
-Aerial view of th whole track
-Main Sponsor area, the SA
-the Folks Curve
-The Pit Stop
-And the Bridge

There's just something about that car stand that makes it look really good. Next track I make I'm gonna do something like that. And give it a theme.
