Background (or why I reneged on my vow, made to Bill K while on knees at NC track many years ago,
never to build a track).

Indeed, the electric speeder was purchased in Nov. with "our girls" as the stated the reason ("they are
growing up soooo quickly").  The first time that they were introduced to the new speeder (running on 25 ft
of planks with furring strips for rails), the middle granddaughter exclaimed right in front of Phyllis, "Papa,
why don't you build a track around your yard". I gave her a big hug and was off...

The ground rules by the CFO were that this was to be a "temporary" track, meaning no (just a little?)
grass was to be destroyed (hence no ballast), and keep the bugs out as best possible (close the screen
doors, shaved at bottoms, when finished running).

The finished track has 50 ft inside the screened enclosure, 45 ft across outside wooden deck, 11 ft of
(low) trestle, 18 ft across grass, and 4 ft of doorways and pads. It is only tied down at the doors and
the trestle. The rail is 3/4 inch and was purchased from FLSers from around the state.

A big thanks to all for their directions and help, and for their encouragement in this endeavor.
