This one is a variation on Option 7. Check out the entry and exit of the three-lane back straight. They're also some changes in the tight infield section and you can see the cross-over LC added on the straight after the back straight.

Option 8

Hi Gordon,

Actually, it should be able to fit on an 8'x 8' table ( two sheets of ply ). On a 8'x12' table.....wow, so much more could be done, a passing lane that begins as you exit the middle portion and actually goes around the second to last corner and ends just before the final corner.

I used a scalextric program, three fast zones and some nifty corners. Would love to see my gold escort on a track like that. Or any stock race.

Alex,

Here's one take on your design for a 8' x 12' table like FRC:

Option 9
