Palmer Divide Raceways

[dreinecke]

This is the 4th iteration of the Palmer Divide Raceway - aptly named as I live on the Palmer Divide in Colorado. This version is an homage to Riverside International Raceway (RIR), but borrows elements from my area and the now-defunct Continental Divide Raceway in Castle Rock, Colorado.

It is hand-routed, 20 feet long and 7 feet wide at the top. Copper tape with 1 power supply per lane. Interior latex satin paint on the surface, and an IR timing setup running Race Coordinator software for timing. I really love the fuel option it has.

Lot's of landscaping completed, many resin and 3D-printed figures I've done and painted as well. I've used grandstands from Magnetic Racing and all the other structures are scratch-built.

I've really enjoyed this track build and am very happy with how it performs.

One of my favorite tracks! Would love to run it and abuse some of your cars sometime.

Hey David! Missed you lately. Are you doing okay? I still have your 1/32nd figure of me (uncanny), sitting by my computer, safely stashed until the decks are clear for me to detail a self-portrait. Its going to be a feature of my renovated track, along with the 1/32nd scale airplane (my favorite), the beer joint/brothel/BBQ joint, the pelicans and the alligators, not to mention the shrimp boats and pirogues.

Steve - come on down. All my cars are yours to trash.

I'm alive, thanks. You haven't painted mini-me yet? Slacker!

Still good Dave. I couldn't access the pictures in your post, only the one shot of the track from the end. Anybody else have any trouble?

[WoodSlot]

Yes, me too.

One of my all-time favorite tracks. Every incarnation has been spectacular. Your attention to detail is unmatched.

Davids Palmer Divide track is one of my favourite all time routed tracks. So good! Its on my bucket list to one day meet David, turn some laps on PDR & crash all his cars!

Another very nice track. Your tracks have been a lot of inspiration for me when doing mine. Really like the stories your little people portray. Keep up the good work. 👍
