After some conversation with Ludo Soete, I created a geometric construction
to prove that the 9V point curve can be created from the same circle radius
as the 9V track, without any straight sections. I did this by modeling this
Track Designer construction:

Here's the model, and the results:

Note that since 'C' equals 80, the two circles just touch but do not overlap
(hence, there's no straight between the curves).

| I've constructed the 9V point centerline geometry through trial and error. What I came up wasn't very intuitive, so it's probably wrong.
