Excavation and geology work has been difficult with all the much needed rain. But construction is progressing and we’re on schedule!
Decided not to use particle board since it doesn’t deal with moisture well and isn’t quite as durable or as strong as MDF. That said, MDF is heavy. Hope the darn lift system can handle the weight of SR3, much bigger and heavier table, for sure. It’s also going to have MDF sides so not sure just how heavy this tank will end up.
The base table is almost complete now as you can see. I just need to finish fastening the table top sheets to the frame, cut and route the side and end panels, then paint and assemble. After that, it’s all about laying out the track, oval first, and securing anchor points to keep it in position as the wiring and electronics are installed.
Lots of decisions to be made so I’m anxious to get some veteran racers over to comment on things. A couple key decision needed are what side of the garage the main start/finish straight will be on, what pit spacing to try first, and what layout to employ for the grand opening race day.
Anyway, lots more work to do so stay tuned for more updates as construction progresses.
Okay, shut-up and drive!
Looking MEGAAA
Yes, mondo table, for sure. Hope my lift system can handle it.
All I can say is…YAAAAAH!
You ‘da MAN!
Thanks, Steve.
Can’t wait to see this beautiful track come alive.
GK
It’s coming along quite nicely. I see you updated your driver profile but used the SBC email, which bounces. Let’s see how that works out. Merry Christmas!
