Things have been relatively slow around my neck of the woods (or more apt, my neck of the desert) and in that time, I have been using some poster boards I got for my birthday to start mocking up some racetracks for my ever expanding collection of diecast cars. The plan is to start making Stop Motion animations when these get finished up, but until now, I just push my cars around them trying to figure out the style off racing I want.
Excuse the poor quality, these were taken via phone during the waning hours of the day, so lighting isn't the greatest.
First off is Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona circa. 2009. I chose this version because of 1. nostalgia, and 2. I prefer it over the current revision.
It has a fully usable infield road course for sports car and open wheel events, and can fit 43 cars(though it gets somewhat tight when the cars spread out a bit)
Next up is the Magic Mile, New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, NH, built on the site of the old Bryar Motorsports Park. I figured I have a west coast mile track, why not an east coast one? Also I like it's road course layout, which I have found during my testing to be fun to use, and I feel I can create some engaging races on it.
Also on a side note, it is a PITA to search for photos of Trans-Am and Grand-Am, because guess what? It just pulls up Pontiacs!
