Return of the Tuckaway 25 speedway.

[email protected]
Over the last couple of years I have been
gradually re-building my old HO speedway. It
currently resides in my parents' basement, for
occasional use by nephews. And sometimes even me!
(My own children are uninterested.)
- Track is painted grey.
- Colored tape markers for each lane.
- Posterboard and clear acyrlic outer boards.
- Guardrail fences instead of curbs. That's a
downgrade, really, but I never ran the outside
groove that much anyways.
- New digital lap timing system. Infrared LEDs
wired to an orange pi running a rust program my
father made. He sure loves tinkering with those
tiny computers.
I have some older x-traction cars[1] and few new
TR-3s[2] to replace the Tomy Super-G+s which were
worn out.

I still have dreams of one day, somehow, starting
another serious HO racing club.
