The Austin Slot Car Club Track is a custom built, three lane wood track with an average lane length of 54 feet (16.46 meters). Lane spacing is constant at 4.5 inches (11 cm) so that 1:32 and 1:24 scale cars can be raced. The track is tastefully landscaped, however great care has been taken to ensure that there are no sight-line barriers to impede racers’ vision.
Lanes are powered by a Pyramid PS26KX adjustable power supply that delivers between 6 and 15 volts DC at up to 22 amps. Timing is handled by a Trackmate timing package utilizing an overhead light bridge and Trackmate software for general use and Race Coordinator race management software for club-sanctioned races.
