Track Rev II
Nice Track, If I had the space I'd be doing something like that for sure.
Here's phase II of mine
Hey PT sorry you could not find the matt the where on a "End Cap" near the front. I've looked at all kinds on things for my barrier and nothing seem to say "Buy Me" So for now I laying out with the wire loom maybe just cover it in tape or something. ooooooo and the felt I looked at that to but thought its a little furrie and may problems if to set your car on it. (lint in the steering and gears)
I can run the track in the pic with out running into the wall in both directions. I now have racers thumb (Blister)

Hey TEAM_NITRO
That track looks great!
I also saw pics of your ZZs. Apparently you like to mod these things as much as the real cars.
Nice job!

Speed the mustang I post pics of will spin the tires it has that kind of power and speed is outrageous.
I highly suggest the dual batt. PCB swap.
I am going to get a Microsizer to replace the board with the clone board is powerful but is not as good as my bits.
Heres a pick of my GT-R Bit pack this is the old car not sure the year or anything but it kicksa**

I'll be combing the ilse of home depot this weekend in hopes of finding something to use for my barriers.
Specs
1. 1/2" - 3/4" high
2. Flat (with the 1/2" wire loom I'm using now the car can climb it and get stuck)
3. Easy to bend and un-bend
4. Easy to set-up, take down and store
I thought about rope or tubing like the other track in this thread, But want something flat (more like a wall)

Excellent work fellas! There are some really good ideas here.
How well does the Bit hook up on those foam pads? What type of tires are you using? Looks like a type of surface I'd like to try out.

Just as a little side note, I am tinkering with cardboard to make tracks, and I've found that 1/2" walls can be a little too short. I have been able to get to stuck on the rails. So, you'd probably be better off going with 3/4" or higher walls. Unless, you like running up onto the walls. Which, I have to admit makes for some fun accidents, but then you have to actually reach over to free the car. I don't know about you folks, but when I'm playing with an RC the last thing that I want to do is actually move. 
Anyway, the 1/2" walls may have just been a problem for me because they were pretty thin. You may have better luck with it than I did.

Well Radio Shack is selling a Zip Zap modular track set for 9.99 but it looks only wide enough to hold one car at a time - no side by side racing. Blah.

New Pic
Here is a new pic of RDRW (Red Dog Race Way) turn 1.
After looking around for a while I decied on the dry-wall plastic joint stuff. After playing with it for a while I hacked it in half an am using straight pins to hold it on place. This is the second generation of my track but I think this is what I had in mind when I started out. I'll post more pic's when I get it finished

Does anyone have the actual name or sku # off of the flexable drywall bead (the barrier walls). I would like to get it, but have to get everything over the phone or internet. I can't find anything like this where I live. Needless to say, I don't live in the states. I would appreciate a name or some specifics on this stuff. Thanks.
