arob 0 Report post Posted August 9 Just curious. How would you get a three groove 3/8 mile asphalt track? Gradual banking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickHolt 0 Report post Posted August 9 I have what I think will be a pretty good design. - 3/8-mile at the center, slightly less on the inside, slightly more on the very outside. - turns and straights 60 feet wide. - concrete rumble strips all the way through the bottom of both turns - straights slightly lower in elevation than the turns so it's a slight uphill entry to the turns - graduated banking in the turns from 5 degrees at the bottom to +/- 14 degrees near the top. That makes the surface slightly concave and makes all portions of the track more or less equal in terms of banking verses distance around - both straights have graduated banking from three degrees to five degrees and gently transition to the appropriate corner banking on both ends - exits to two and four are slightly different from each other: turn two has a gentle transition to the straight while the exit to turn four is more abrupt. This puts the team's suspension tuner to work. - no walls all the war around. A 30-foot paved slope of negative 15 degrees encircles the entire track. On the front straight there will be a SAFER Barrier wall from 50-feet before the apex of turn four all the way down the front straight along with an industrial-grade catch fence. - pits will be located outside the track with track entry on the back side just before the banking transition of turn three. The rest is simply a matter of logistics and the surrounding topography, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
