You would think I’d have been spending the weekend racing, but no, unfortunately; duty calls, and I needed to spend quite a bit of Saturday in the office (however I’m happy to say I made a lot of progress on the project I was working on there)! And since this is not an “Out of the Slot” post, I’m not going to go on about things unrelated to slot cars, but I will mention in passing that I am preoccupied with some other things lately, trying to work through some relationship trials that have been causing some distractions. So since there’s no tournament for this Independence Day weekend, I thought I’d try to keep the mojo flowing with an up close look at the completed Pit Row, which did provide quite the reason to celebrate on July 4!
Another thing that I’m going to have to start paying attention to here shortly is that I’m running out of cloud storage for my blog! I guess that’s what happens when you get to well over 500 posts! I’ll have to upgrade my plan soon, which ain’t cheap, so I may be looking into other platforms and possibly doing a migration. That would be highly disruptive so I’d like to avoid it if possible, but we will have to see how things turn out!
Hopefully in the near future I’ll get past some of these issues that have been vying for my attention lately, and get back to some serious racing! When I do, I’ll have a much better looking track to run on, as you can see!
This was a great tour and I love how this has come out. The things that you did for pit row came out great and the Masonite was a cleaver choice for the roof / grand stand base! I think you can still get a really good suggestion of the activity inside the garages, that suggestion of more activity inside is intriguing. I understand the problems with that infield, I have a similar part where I have to crawl onto the table and reach over to access one part of mine. I wonder if creating a ramp would be a solution to to the stair situation, a thin piece of the Masonite running down an an angle along that back wall with a triangular cut piece for the wall / support. That wouldn’t take up much room and may be easy to fabricate. Just a thought and I’ve seen ramps used at real life stadiums.
