Built a track, and have some car issues too...

Hey guys,

Thought I would let you all know that I built a track tonight that I have sitting on my pool table in my loft. Very cool setup as the track is in 3 pieces, and I can disassemble to store in a closet or what have you.

The surface is a 1/4" hardboard, and the surface is PERFECT for the ZZ cars. Maybe a bit too good as they do not slip out, the grip is excellent, but I believe this should add to the great racing sure to come to this track.

For the walls, I used some 1/4" rubber tubing from the plumbing aisle at Lowes. I think it was about $4 for a 20ft section. The hardboard was listed at $10.57, but because it was damaged, we walked out with it for $5.25. Bargains!!

Here is a pic of the track:



I really like the setup and thanks to Gryphic Racing for his help in the design. My final design was based off of his sketch.

I have also posted some other pics and "noise" over on my site, so feel free to check that out too. Have some action shots from "practice" tonight.

Ok, now for the help I need. My supra turns on a dime for left handed turns, but my right handers are huge radius turns. I have disassemble the steering and front end components and do not see any blatent reason for the semi-recent poor steering performance. Anyone have any issues with it turning well one direction, and not the other?

Many thanks to those that can help!!!
