I'll give you two guesses!!!

Naw, I'll just tell ya!

I am now the proud owner of an RCP 'Narrow Oval' track!
It's the same type/sizing as the stuff we currently run and has the two different textured sides and everything!

It was an impulsive splurge purchase on E-Bay.
When I saw it for like $60 it was a no brainer. SOLD!
*THEN* I realized it looked kinda different after bidding on it. :confused: Oh well, it's better than nothing!

I've already added the pieces into my RCP Track editor program and started playing with it.
Basically, the only difference is it comes with a barrier wall that is in the Middle of the track. (a wall 3/4's of the way across the 2 wide track)
This will make for some interesting layouts.

I have played a bit with it and so far I see uses for it as a pit lane, or a nasty obstacle in a turn. & you thought the bumps were annoying!? Just you wait!!!

I'll post up some demo layouts when I get some time later this weekend to hopefully put some time in front of the good ol' PC.

The track also came with three Gen. 1 XMODS cars.
I'll be posting those up in the For Sale Category soonish in case anyone is interested in them for their kids, or themselves. :rolleyes:

I am still awaiting a proper Full Oval to come in the mail as well.
Both tracks were a steal on E-Bay. Less than half the price of a new track even after shipping.

Looking forward to adding it to our 3 Wide L's we already run with. :)

Ya, I barely have room to setup the Narrow Oval.

The Wide Oval just showed up like an hour ago.

I'm gunna try setting them up in my backyard tomorrow, see how well it works.

But, now we have a few more pieces to add to our track for our Mini-Z GTG's.

YAY!
