if we do just a section of track with the start/finish line roughly centered (say on plate 17, or 16-17, or 16-18), the track could come in from offstage on plate 8, curve on 9 and 15, then curve again on 18 to 12 or 19 to 13, then exit on 14.
I would simplify this even further and just have us build part of the frontstretch (no curves). That would simplify things immensely.
I have enough black brick to build a frontstretch section of the racetrack. We would then need Grandstand sections, pit lane, garage area (underneath the Grandstands), perhaps a refreshment stand (also underneath), and an infield area (got to get a few drunken fans and RVs into this display somehow – think NASCAR).
I will work on getting the track section done this weekend and will post WIP pictures as soon as I can. Can we get a few people to commit to sections of Grandstands, infield, pit lane boxes, etc.? @solscud007, can you provide some racecars?
