belfastguzzi Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 That's a lot of timber! How are those tracks constructed? Link to comment
gstallons Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 The track surface was made with 2X4s laid with the 4" side upright. These were assembled (nailed) side by side and laid in an irregular length for rigidity. This lumber was not finished so you can imagine how rough the surface was. Link to comment

John in Leeds Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Timber was I believe used to get a uniform non pot holing surface unlike Brooklands in England Where it was a little bumpy Some Brooklands background Link to comment
