Did that get your attention?

Just to get your juices going - here are the results from 5th Feb.

Anyone got some ideas for additional track obstacles?

I'm not so sure about any more obstacles tbh, gotta be careful not to detract from the racing too much. I did like that new little ramp tho (after the block of wood was taken out), lol.
Just a thought on track layout tho...
We have two ramps, why not arrange them as a ramp to ramp fly-over? i.e. Track comes back through the gap under the fly-over??

Default New little ramp

that was a piece of facia (as in the bit near a house roof) I found - does anyone know a builder that could supply us with bits of off cuts?

Personally I like the obstacles.

We can only use carpet now (no more bare wooden floor, as we were causing damage to it) so I think some small obstacles are a good way to give more of an offroad feel to an essentially onroad track.

I see them as part of the racing, not a detraction from it and I also think they act as a bit of a 'leveller' between the top and lower drivers.

Good idea about the facing ramps, but we may need to add a board between them if we have cars going underneath(?) Not all our drivers have cars with the oomph to clear a 2 metre gap.

Fair points.

How about a 'ring of fire' too between the ramps? Would you Marshall that Jimbob?
