The 22-foot-tall racetrack is banked at 67.5 degrees and is viewable from every angle with 125-foot straight-aways and 80-foot, 180-degree sweeping turns. The track is supported by an aluminum truss structure, giving the track an industrial aesthetic. The 200-foot by 85-foot track footprint is designed to fit into the same seating configuration as an NHL hockey rink. The main racing surface is a series of aluminum panels decked with one-inch-thick LEXAN Polycarbonate sheets. The track, designed exclusively for arena touring, will be built for rapid assembly and disassembly.
The track infield, or cage, will sit 10 feet above ground level and provide a minimum head clearance of 8 ft. This area will house pit road activities including inspections and repairs. Two ramps will be put into place to accommodate traffic to and from the racing surface from the infield. A track-level island will connect the two ramps and will house media, team members, safety officers, race officials, and pre- and post-race activities.
This structure will provide optimum visibility while providing the capabilities of supporting up to 30 scaled stock cars, racing at speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour (MPH). The main supports will be able to hold the racing surface with the least obstruction to visibility.
Engineers are putting the final touches on the construction documents now and track construction is officially underway. Stay tuned for updates.
