Graham Hill against Jim Clark / BRM against Lotus / Green against White - that was my Scalextric figure of 8 track 1964.

You've done it now Jamie..........I'm gonna have to set mine up now, pics to follow once I've found some floor space for it.

I shared my first house with my best mate and we combined our scalextrix tracks to install a Brands Hatch circuit in our living / dining room - loads of fun :lol:.

Daz

Here ya go Jamie,

I've set it up on the landing. My daughter & I had a quick blast earlier but I need to get a couple of mates round to make use of the 4 cars on the track at once :lol:.

It hasn't changed much in 45 years!
Apart from the flyover - what happened to the books?

 

[DHTiling]

This is what you want for when the lads come round Daz..

 

[Daz]

TJ,

I can run 4 cars with just 2 lanes; you can change lanes twice during a lap so overtaking becomes fun, too. There is deffo progress and I've got plastic supports for my bridge - what's a book? Is that like a "Kindle" :lol:.

Daz

 

[Time's Ran Out]

You'd need 20 Kindles to get the right height for that bridge so that's not cost effective, but you could use some leftover 6inch white, 10 each side should give you a 60mm clearance which seems adequate.
We had to pick the fluff off the contacts to make sure any one car got round and that was the winner of what was often a 1 lap race.

 

[kilty55]

hey im liking this daz

 

[Daz]

:lol::lol: TJ, this is turning into a Monty Python sketch.....

6 inch whites????? we were so poor we had to use the empty boxes. It took 3 bathrooms before we had enough cardboard to form a bridge. :lol::lol:.

[White Room]

I've still got a couple of cars from the 60's when we (brothers) were kids...
