1402 Atlas HO Slot Car Racing Track Layout Grandstand Structure
Thursday, March 4th, 2010Depending upon the size of the raceway you are operating you will need some way of accommodating the fans without whom you have got a losing proposition. If your track is fairly small two Atlas model 1402 grandstands will suffice to handle the better healed or more delicate aficionados while a pair of Atlas model 1403 bleacher stands will make ideal companion pieces and take care of the hardier, if less affluent, souls who hold no fear for sun, rain or pigeon.
Most usually the stands are arranged along the outside of one of the straightaways with the choicer vantage points, of course, going to the grandstands. A frequently seen arrangement is with the grandstands at the center of the track with bleacher stands extending to each side. Leave aisles between your stands extending to each side. Leave aisles between your stands so that patrons will not have to go the long way around visiting the Atlas model 1407 refreshment stand or the model 1405 restrooms.

All trusses should be installed with their flush side facing the steps at the center of the base. The trusses are installed as follows: Hold a truss on an angle as shown in the first sketch below, then insert the offset lug at the bottom of the long column between the third and fourth boards from the bottom.
