Thanks for the tip with the concrete, but my lease will be up at tue end of next month. I will be moving so there isn't any sense on me doing that. I will just get some for mats from harbor freight and build a track out of that so I wont have to worry about the unevenness. Ya know
see...i rent as well atm..i asked the landlord if i could paint a track in the garage on the floor...like with chalkboard paint...thought that would make a good surface...but no go...

so i went with foams from HF...like i said wait for sales and get a pack or two at a time...usually $8.99 on sale...i almost have enough to cover my whole garage...approx 20 x 20...

and personally i like 2 mats wide...which is 4 feet...depends on straights or corners...yi.e. you could do a 2 ft straightaway into a 4 foot corner so you have space to turn, drift or pass an oponent...just an idea...

when i can do a more permanent track set-up i will be laying out all my mats...then will probably cut the track into the mats with a utility knife...the intention being to create a more freeform and smoother transitioning track...whatever is cut off from the outside of corners could...theoretically be placed and reused on the inside of the corner...once again...an idea...
