Wait, you mean you wacky Canucks use inches now? Aren't you guys supposed to be
on the metric system?

Looks like the outside-- by my calculations, the outside ought to measure about
14.93 inches. In my previous post, I should clarify I was using the center of
the track.

Yeah, it's a minuscule amount-- although I *am* interested from a geek
perspective to figure out what that might be...

I have something similar-- my own track weighs in at 79.41 feet in my system,
but it looks like I go up to 81.67 if I use your approximations! An extra 2+
feet of track, woot!
