(...) Crawl under is very very typical. Jump over is very very foolish. Bring a piece of carpet or rug to put at the spot where everyone crawls in/out... you'll be doing it more than you think and your knees will really appreciate it. (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Cool, John I don't mind your layout however it really doesnt allow for alot of stock cars to get side tracked.

Hi All - I started generating some layout samples that use 5 of the 30x60 tables. See: (URL) also the puny single table (30x72, I think) layout I used at a show some years ago.
