Race Track Module

That's pretty cool. The first time I have heard of someone modeling a racetrack. Looks Terrific!!!
In my teenage years my modeling was focused on my HO racetrack layout, 4'x16' with Aurora cars. The local Slot Car shop also ran an HO race series which got my attention and my interest in trains lagged though my scenery skills progressed. (Besides, the girls thought the cars were cooler than trains.)
It's good to see those stock cars still mixing it up on that dirt track module. Someone did a nice job.

Well it would be a nice thought if he was leading but in 500 laps tonite I did not hear his name once and he finished 18 th.

Fifer he gets great equipment and seems to finish well most of the time but he needs to stop whinning and do his job!!! Dale(wife's favorite go figure) finished well and his car was banged in on three sides. My boy Tony did not get it done last nite. Sorry for the off topic comments but we are talking about a race track right?
:thumb:A point:
This is a Dirt Track.
I'm sure Labonte is plenty good enough to win against the level of competition you'd find at a dirt track

NASCAR it ain't but the guys have to start somewhere. A great point of interest. Now where would we find some dirt track cars.
Time for an update on the race and the module... I think I may have blogged the process of updating this module on Trainboard, but I'll post a couple of pictures here for the record.
After I purchased this module (and all the rest of the modules that make up the Oregon Western Lines modular layout), I made a few changes that I thought would improve on another modeler's good idea. I tried to make the mountain in the background look more convincing and blend in better with the adjacent modules. I did this by cutting its height in half and placing the two parts side by side.

Very cool. Is the race track animated? Looks great! I think that's the first one I've seen in N Scale.
What an interesting use of the unique space allowed by the corner module. it fits just right.
