Indy Truck Show 2011

If the show layout is planned, is that how it going to be? In years past plans have never been implemented, just spur of the moment setup has been done.

Willy, here's in one supplier of the rubber material for possible use as the "road". There are several suppliers that I searched, but as noted this is just one of them. The supplier has the material in 1/8 inch thick material, which I think is about 3.5 mm. Using a thinner material may allow for easier storage and transport as well as a smaller edge for the truck to pass over if they get off the roadway. Joining the material would have to be reviewed as we would want something that easily comes apart, possibly "blue painter's tape" on the underside of the material. Making curves would have to be thought out as more material would be needed, but again this is just thought and as way to "rasie the bar" improve the overall layout and operation of the city. Your thoughts?

Thank you,

Jim

Chris, this sounds great. As you'll see I've answered Willy's post for information. As for the "grass, water" look, Home Depot and Costco have indoor/outdoor carpet at cheap prices. Maybe even Walmart would have some at cheap pricing to allow us to do this.

I would think that at least having some type of "idea on paper" of the layout would aid in the set up. Making this a bit more organized with a "plan". Afterall, the plan can always be modified, but atleast when you have something on paper you can talk about it before you start building.

Thank you,

Jim
