CARRERA SLOT CAR TRACK
The Carrera layout was 17x6 feet. It was a fun track. If I had room I would have kept it set up also. I like the flow of the wood track better. The different radius of the corners are fun. With the wood track there is no magnetic downforce on the cars, the braid on the track is non magnetic. Fitting the cars with silicone or urethane rear tires help a lot with traction. Also adding some weight to the chassis. I usually run the cars at 10 volts with a adjustable power supply. Here are a couple of pic's of the old track.
