NASCAR Race Track

Hey everyone,

I am about to embark on a huge project. I am going to model a NASCAR race track. I was just wondering if any of you have perhaps done a race track before and have any pointers or hints for me. This will be my first "environment" project. I usually model vehicles, but I am trying to broaden my skill base.

So if anyone has any tips for me before I get started, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
