1409 Atlas HO Slot Car Racing Track Layout Officials Stand Structure
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Your atlas model 1409 officials stand should be located at a central site on your track’s infield so as to command a clear view of the entire track thus enabling the racing officials to observe, through the large second storey windows, any rules infractions which might occur during a race. Much of the official race business is conducted over the downstairs counter. We do not know of any exactly alike full size officials stands or buildings. Many appear to have been designed without resorting to the services of an architect and it seems as if the two most important design criteria were:
- Get the officials up in the air where they can see
- Do not use any more money than necessary to do so
So, we swiped some ideas here and there from several full size stands and added a few of our own to come up with a very authentic officials stand – it doesn’t look exactly like any other either.
