Looks good I had a similar track on a ping pong table.

Yes I got the track from Viper in SLC a couple years ago.
Dan the owner of Viper was very helpful, track is fun and the Viper cars run very well too.
It's called the Game Changer and includes extra track sections that allows for 4 different configurations.
Works well less click clack than the AFX track.
Big improvements are issues you can do to your track now.
Variable voltage, we run 13.5 volts mostly, 18 volts max with experienced drivers.
We have the DeFalco 2 wire/no brake controllers with adjustable throttle sensitivity and that helps make the cars much more controllable too.
The lap counter bridge and race program work well too.
We IROC race with identical cars in each lane.
In a race each competitor drives for 2 minutes on each of the 4 lanes, after 8 minutes driver with the most laps wins.
Perfect number of entries would be 8, so 4 are driving and while the others turn marshal/re-slot cars.
Only gripe is if you run strong Neo magnet high downforce cars the stronger car magnets can slightly lift some rail sections, easy to fix just push the rails back down and reseat them where they have lifted.
So we run cars with less magnetic downforce and the rails then stay in place no issue.
The cure would be to spot glue the rails that are lifting, instead we chose not to run the super fast/expensive Neo style magnet cars.
Good luck racing!
