I was going to replicate a little routed track that was available to Q32 a while back at Wellington Point, however, after some soul searching and discussions with housemates (my brother and one of his mates, hah!), and some measuring up of the garage etc... I found out I could fit in a 3600 x 1200 track!!! Might even be able to fit in a track that is a little bit longer, however, that remains to be seen, gotta get rid of all the tyres, the cupboards, and then I can break out the measuring tape. If I can get it longer, I will. It's easy enough to extend the table frame on the design.
So here is the plan for the table frame, at the very least..
Basic dimensions in mm are, 3600mm x 900mm for the base table frame, with a 3600mm x 300mm extension on the side to give me 3600mm x 1200mm, and also provide an easy bit of room to do the track wiring, and provide a bit of space to tuck the nose of the car underneath it (from ground to underneath of the extension is 690mm).
Here is a picture:
Blue bits are where castor wheels will be. There will be 8 of them, 2 of them lockable, enabling me come race day, to rotate it around in the garage, get it away from the wall etc. Is it possible to over design a table??? The two end sections between the legs will be cupboard/shelving space. I'm getting rid of storage in the garage to do this, I need to introduce storage space again. Middle section will be power/computer/etc for the track.
Will be planning out the track on some a3 grid paper I bought. Allows me to work on a larger scale, at least. Expect a good design.
The tracks on the southside of town are certainly coming back!
