Living in the Dallas area and with the Texas motor speed way coming up this weekend.It got me to thinking? Do any of our members have layouts that are built for speed? I have heard of people having track set up to simulate a quarter mile sprint.But is there anyone out there with video and pics of their layout that's built for speed.

I saw this racing layout at Trainfest in Milwaukee back in 2012. The kids loved it!
Elliot, Ya beat me to it. That's my Train Race layout. We, Midwest Division of TCA, have been running the Races at Trainfest since 2004. Always a crowd pleaser.
Here's a pic from 2013.
That's me kneeling by the transformers, "Runnin' the Races"
Attached is the "Foot Print" Plan of the Races.
Cool Bill! I didn't take a lot of pictures at Trainfest, too busy looking at all the stuff. But I snapped a half a dozen shots of your unique layout. Obviously it grabbed my attention.
Never seen anything like it.
In one of the TM Books and Videos layout series many years ago, there was a guy with a medium sized layout with just large loops on his layout with banked curves. Some very high speed running to say the least. Will have to see if I can find any more info on the layout.
