Flat
Track is just as its name implies. I don't think we will ever go back to driving on a full guard rail track
again. Our philosophy here is to slow things down to a realistic and scale speed. The track is low enough that you can usually
drive right back on with a 1/43rd scale car. A sufficient penalty is paid in loss of time to get back on the track. The cars
are much more controllable, and the visual of the car taking the race course at close to scale speeds and track widths is
very enjoyable. The slower speeds on a scale width track enable you to drive ahead of the car planning your line and putting
your car where it should be. We believe the scale element has been missing from our hobby. Our goal is to introduce it, much
like the 1/32nd slot racers layouts. All too often we put too much emphasis on the latest speed motor and super grip tires,
only to see a driver just reacting to avoid an imminent collision with the guard rail and driving behind the
car. It usually ends with the car repeatedly bouncing off the walls and the driver soon loses interest.
