When they say plastic, they probably mean that the racing surface is plastic while the rest of the track is wood.  Generally, the track-builders around here use a sheet of FRP for the track surface. (It's the stuff you find on the walls in McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc. Hard plastic 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and virtually indestructible.)

Good report.  Our outpost track is due for a tuneup as well. It is 9 years old.  It has the latest state of the art supertimer stuff.  Our hosting church just got the newest plastic track and were setting it up durning the lockin.  I didin't get a chance to look it over just a glance or two.

 

How big is your sectional races?  We will be running about 250 - 300 cars or more in a couple weeks.  District Commander said he sold over a thousand kits this year.  Hope to see them at Sectional Races. 

 

I enjoy hearing what others do. It gives me good ideas and keeps my edge sharp!

 

Thanks for sharing and stiring up the Spirit to Reach, Teach and Keep all for Christ!

 

We made a Texas Marshmellow Gun and had a tournement.  The boys loved it. I will post pictures and plans in a few days.  You guys have to get this. Its easy and fun and the boys love it and its safe and clean...not much can meet all those categories!!!

We had our race on Friday. Went pretty good.  100% of our Disc. Rangers who had cars showed up. I will say, it is time for a new track(12 years old). Too many cars jumping the outside lanes.  Well it's off to The Section race next Saturday.
