    This morning I built a set of legs for my top. It worked out pretty good. I moved the whole works into an alcove and it fit dang near perfectly! Now, I feel like I have something.

    Here is the latest configuration of LGR. I took out the banked curves. My T-jets were having a little trouble with them.

    Gotta love it, old school with the mechanical lap counter and everything. The only problem I had when I ran a mech counter was it was at the end of a very long straight and would shear off guide pins every once in a while. After I moved it to a slower part of the track it worked great.

    Mine is coming out of the corner. You have to be moving pretty good to get through it.
