Thumbs up decent makeshift track material

For anybody doesn't have the time or space or pooltable
(like me)

I bought a piece of material that was thick black vinyl on a roll with a very slight texture to it (was just luck that i found it, was at a hardware store and it caught my eye). I had it cut to 6' by 4 and 1/2'. As soon as I felt it I knew it would be a great race surface. total 12 bucks. I wish i had all the details but i got it in a mom and pop type shop, it was just in a box of shelf covering kinda material.

I put in on my dining room table- spread it taught and taped it tightly down - my wife wants to kill me. Then i set up two of the radio shack barrier kits. Works great. when its time to eat I just throw a table cloth over it.

Heres the best part- spray a little orange glow polish and wipe with a paper towel in some areas for great slick spots (donuts and wipeouts). It evaporates completely after 20 minutes and doesn't seem to harm the tires.

now i just wish i had somebody to race with.

I don't know if this warrented a post but I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself

My wife wouldn't be too keen on the idea of eating over top of the race track tablecloth or not!
