CRC Fasttrak-HD racing carpet is a time tested product that has been developed and improved for over 20 years since it first hit the R/C car market 1985. This new carpet is absolutely the best for model car racing. CRC has developed and improved model car racing carpet since 1989, (OVER 20 years) and this is our best release yet. The new Fasttrak-HD has been improved to stand up to the abuse of rubber tire racing and still retains all of the features of the previous Fasttrak carpet; advanced fiber bonding process to ensure fiber locking with little or no fuzz. Also, the backing has been modified to better suit both the facility that glues the carpet down, AND the facility that picks up and tears down each week. Don't make the mistake of purchasing some close look-a-like from a box store. It is not the same and it really is not that much less expensive. Our carpet is purposely made for model car racing, not speaker cover, not plain Jane indoor-outdoor. CRC Fasttrak is made for racing and only available from CRC. Get the SAME carpet that is used at ALL the big races, CRC Fasttrak.
CRC Fasttrak-HD is used at the following large events;

*** The U.S. Indoor Champioship in Cleveland, OH ***

*** The Snowbird Nationals in Orlando, Florida (oval and road course) ***

*** The International Indoor Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada ***

*** 1990, 2010 + 2012 IFMAR World Championships ***

*** 2008 LRP Carpet Masters ***

*** 2008 International Speed Weekend - ISW ***

CRC Fasttrak-HD features a "no static" fiber treatment for safe speed control use. The traction compound resistant glue keeps fibers from tearing out prematurely due to the glue being weakened by tire additives. The carpet is gunmetal grey in color. It is far better for model car racing than carpets available from major home improvements stores. Fasttrak-HD's omni-directional fibers cause no pull or drift of the model cars. Fasttrak-HD requires no special care. An occasional vacuum and possible a yearly or bi-yearly steam cleaning is needed ONLY if your facility gets dusty during the summer months.

CRC cares about model car racing. It has devoted manpower, time and testing to improving the product for the model car market. In conjunction with highly experienced hobby stores and clubs, CRC has helped promote major racing events like the US Indoor Championships ('99 - present), the largest indoor road race in the world. The IFMAR World Championships in Grand Rapids Michigan was run on CRC racing carpet.

MINIMUM ORDER - 1 full uncut roll 80 x 12 or the smallest full "wildcard" roll we have in stock at the time.

Other notes;

Try to size your track in at least one dimension in a multiple of 12. For example, a 80 x 36 foot track is much more affordable and easy to cover than a 70 x 40 foot track. If you need a track say 40 feet wide (not a multiple of 12), make the length a multiple of 12, say 84 (7 x 12). A track 84 x 40 would be 7 sections of 12 foot carpet 40 feet long laying side-by-side. The 75 x 36 would be 3 sections of rug 75 feet long. Again, try to make at least one dimension a multiple of 12. However, by laying the carpet sideways, a track 72 x 40 would be possible with 3 rolls of 80 x 12. Take the 80' and divide in 2 for 40' sections 12' wide.

All carpet comes in rolls wrapped in plastic. Roll lengths vary some what. Please order on the high side to ensure you receive enough product, don't cut it too close.
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail, call or fax.*** Like many, many resources, the manufacturing of carpet is dependant on petroleum. Price subject to change without notice. ***
