I was not able to get a close look at this track, but I was able to watch a race where a new aluminum BestTrack was used. Overall it seems a nice and very fast track. The start gate released cleanly and quickly (spring loaded open). They did have some problems with some of the section transitions. They had to take a honing stone to dress up some of them since cars were jumping a bit when they hit them.MaxV wrote:I have a 2-lane BestTrack aluminum track which I use for test purposes. It has a spring-loaded starting gate, such as the one described by GPRaceman. That in itself sold me on the track. But beyond that, the track is very consistent and the braking section is terrific.
Maybe they got too short of a track (I believe it was 35 ft long), but they did have problems stopping some cars before they went off the end of the track. Their solution was to disconnect the stopping section and prop it up on the end so that the cars would travel slightly uphill. Having a longer track would probably be a better solution since with a smooth aluminum surface, the cars go faster and need longer to slow down (without crash stopping).
I'm not sure about assembly/disassembly since I only saw it together.
I'd like to hear form other people on their impressions of this track as it may help others in their purchasing decision.
