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.

There's something about viewing pictures of small scale dioramas that I really enjoy. I'm not ignoring your new layout but I really like seeing the pics of your old setup.

So, would you say that it's more difficult to keep the cars on the track without the magnetic attraction or have your modifications nullified the difference?
