gref Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 wow long time no update, here's a couple of pics of what the track looks like at the moment. Still lot of work in progress, but thought I'd share these 2 pics for now looking from the side door in pic of the loop at the bottom of the track, just after startline Quote *fancy signature regards Shane Fuel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gref Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 track is about to get an overhaul, new non magnetic braid will be laid shortly and a few modifications are going to take place...................

gref Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) The corner pictured has given me the shits for a while now, the pit lane flipper are on the corner and cars are unsettled mid corner as they cross them, so time for a change. supplies have arrived and work (making a mess) has started. thought it would be relatively easy to do, but turned out much more work than expected! Here's progress shots now just gotta sand bog back, re draw and route and paint and new braid for whole track, should make a lot of difference!

gref Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 well for some reason the new braid sat too low (approx 5mm) in the existing recess, so I've had to bog the whole track and route a new recess, I was a bit worried the bog might shatter as the router cut through, but is coming up nicely so far bogged ready to be worked sanded read to route with centre lane started looking good (apart from the mess) lot of work to do yet Quote *fancy signature regards Shane Fuel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gref Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 bloody oath mate, I have a "good" idea for the pits (well I think it's good, if it works...) I'll give it a week for the tape to bond properly, it's very sticky to handle, so should hold the braid (hope) no day off til next tuesday anyway Quote *fancy signature regards Shane Fuel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Main thing with the tape is that you press the back of it firmly after laying, I've use the butt end of a screwdriver, a bic lighter, etc. But I've never waited a week, I've waited between an hour to "as soon as I can get to it" Never had it lift.
