I just bought my first HO Drag Track after 10 years of 1/24th drag racing. I would like to build a free standing track about 36" high, 1' wide, and 17' feet long with a 3' shut down. I would like to build the track in 3 sections so it could be moved if needed. The plan is to lay the NTB track on top of 3/4" MDF which is attached to 3/4" particle board and build the legs out of 2" x 4". My concern is the track being stable on 1' foot wide legs and the best way to attach the sections together, any ideas?

Used then lenght-wise and wing-nutted them to the underside of the track. Very mobile, stable and clean

I did an article on making a portable layout from the NTB set. Hope it can be of help. Leo
