Ha!! Well no one ever said racing was a pretty sport. I was thinking of
making a more challenging course with a few jumps to see if could land back
on the track. It would be kind of a "Joey Chippwood" of the train circuit.

I'm not sure I want to know what a BF "squeeze it till it snaps" test is.

You go boy! That has got to be the uglyest train I have ever seen in my
life ;D I bet that it could make it thru a Ben Fleskes Robostness course. • Over
jumps, off the edge of tables, eveb the BF "sqeeze it til it snaps" test!

How about a loop the loop train track, or better yet run it on Matt's LEGO

I would like to introduce the all new Green Machine Racing Train:

This train sits about 1 plate off the track with a very low center of
gravity. It can take a LEGO track curve at full speed with out even the
slightest tilt. I will admit that the center of the train is 8wide, so • the
track has to be able to accommodate an 8 wide train. I'm hoping to build • a
passenger car for it soon, I just need to acquire some more green neon
windows.

Maybe I'll start a National LEGO Racing Train League, anybody up for the
challenge?
