I have noticed something... People make these fun little home built tracks..I think they are really cool. BUT, I have to say just doing the math in my head a 1/64 scale car on a track made of even two 4x8' sheets of plywood can have a straightaway of only 16' minus turns in and out.... Meanwhile a scale mile for 1/64 scale is 82.5' so you are barely getting a 1/4 mile straightaway on the track.

Now I think it would be so awesome ( though not probably feasible for most) to make a scale model of say...Talledega Super Speedway you know an 240' of track with an 80' straightaway, banked turns, and wide enough to handle 2 cars easily....AHhhh to dream....
