That's true, but I'd be a little concerned by how much more of our floor that track width would eat up...it'd shorten our already short tracks a fair bit.

Our hall is basically 12m wide, which gives us 6 track widths across it if we need it. At 2.2 we'd loose 1 track width...which would be doable, for sure, but we already have laptimes around the 11-12 seconds mark on our simple layouts! I reckon we could take another second or two of those at that track width....which might be fine...but you see what I mean?!

I do agree though that a little more track width is better for 1/10ths at a regional level...it's just that we'd struggle a little with it at Caldi
