This is my first routed track, so I decided to keep it simple. The only innovative part is cutting it in half so it can nest together for storage. Basic idea
was three lanes with 5 1/2" outside gutters and constant radious turns. I recessed the power input as well as the controller hookup so they are flush. I
power it with a Pyle PSL 262X power supply and went with Parma Econo 25's.
The real Atomic Speedway was a 1/3 mile highbank dirt oval. It was located a few miles west of Knoxville, TN alongside I-40. It opened in 1970 and closed in 2003. Atomic was where I first saw race cars in action, as a kid, I even got to run in foot races around the dirt between races. My tribute track is based on the idea that they would reopen as a 1/2 mile flat asphalt track.
