This track was bought/made in the 60's but never set up? It was set up in the 60's and stored for 60 years? Is it the pre-cut and routed track pieces offered by Tru-scale(I think) in the 60's. More details please.Matt B

Which way do you race on the track, clockwise or counter-clockwise? I'm curious if cars drive into that far corner at speed after the back straight or speed up after the corner.
Are cars in the far corner visible from where the drivers are positioned?

I bought it from a seasoned gentleman in ( mid 70's) in Gross Point , Mi back in 2014. He stated he had bought it new and when his children grew up he just stored it. My job has moved me every 2 years and I had to store it as well. Now that I am retired and have 3 grandsons and the time and room.
It is the pre cut routed, I never knew the company. As far as the direction of travel I have not decided yet. I can see more traveling counter clockwise.Kevin T

Kal Kar made 2 and 4 lane sections. My Dad made a 4 lane layout for me using this back in the 60’s. I sorta helped.
I’ve been hoping to stumble across a pallet of this stuff, long forgotten in the back of a warehouse somewhere. I had come to the conclusion that any of it out there had long since been repurposed or discarded.
So it was a revelation to see this thread!
