arent hoops made of wire??? So hoop (wire) + Barbs ( like you suggested) = barbed wire.... Yeah i cant imagine how i came up with that one!

Bruce its fine to make comments but there are more than one way to run a succesful r/c race track.... Not all need to be cookie cutters.

And... And old LH had numbered cones, i remember them. It probaly took 3 months to get them because they were working on keeping you happy with fresh track layouts, stocked snack machines , under driver stand lighting and some of the other lil things that make LH soooo sweeet! I think numbered cones were the last things they were worried about
