There are several professional builders of custom racecourses, but, if you are a do-it-yourself buff, you have the proper tools, and are familiar with the basics of carpentry, there is no reason why you cannot build your own. You may need, however, some guidance when constructing the embankments at the turns. There are recommended proper banking angles.
The slots that run the length of the racecourse hold either a tape or braid pick-up conductor. This provides a power source for the automobiles as they race along. Their low-voltage engines receive their power when they come into contact with the conductors.
