Here’s an update of my attempt to build a scaled down version of Watkins Glen International in my basement. This topic was originally started on the old HRW site. You can reach the old site here
https://www.homeracingworld.us/viewt...p?f=22&t=15767 . It contains the build history and construction photos from the very beginning, to the start of adding grass and Armco fencing.
I have now completed all of the foam terrain work on the track perimeter and infield, and all fencing is installed and painted. This was a major milestone in the construction timeline; finally, it’s starting to look a completed track. Next task will be permanently routing all the TrackMate, power, and flat screen monitor cables to a “race control” area. Future plans include pit boxes, spectator stands, flagging stations, signs, billboards, and trees.
Here are some photos of the current track.
