    cool track dude it looks like a nice casual map and not too intense as i can see by the wider lanes. i'd have to test it out for sure. and i always like a new racetrack to try.
    oo and first posts those are nice too.

    i like it but i dont see too much interlocking, but it still looks pretty good. i like the wide turns it makes it alot more casual.

    I love the huge hills you go over. It really gives it the rollercoaster kind of feel. 5/5. It's also interlocked neatly! Also love the arrow. Nice touch.

    Wow this is simpy amazing. The interlocking is done to perfection as everything looks smooth as can be. I like how you made it double wide so that you can actually hold competitive races with plenty of passing opportunities (the one thing that pisses me off about most race tracks is they're not double wide makng it impossible to hold actual races). The floating arrow is a really, nice aesthetical touch. Overall, I'd say 10/10 and 5 stars.

    Very neat map, It looks like one big track from the pictures, some interlocking was missing in areas, but on a mongoose you won't feel a bump. I look forward to playing this

    Nice track.

    I like the glowy arrows, it really gives it a racing game feel. As for the techniques, I think you could have used them better but its perfectly fine the way it is. I'm sure a crack every once and a while wouldn't hurt. Actually, It would make it even more interesting, I can only imagine the carnage...

    Great track.

    I'm guessing you're from HaloTracks...

    No download from me though, sorry, Racing maps aren't my thing, no offense or anything.

    EDIT:

    What he said.

    So...it's just like every other race track I have ever seen, only less imaginative, less interlocking, and halfassed turns. Yeah, great download.

    i dont know if your blind or something but i see NO interlocking
    it could use some but it looks very good
    it gives a feel of a wavy racetrack from the pics
    i usualy make race maps that are 1 and 1/2 wide or 1 wide but this still looks prety fun

    no offense to be just targeting you lately, but I think you're judging too harshly... It's very imaginative that has good curves, well thought out aesthetics, nice gameplay, good jumps, and more. No offense, dude, but try not to think so negatively... give people more slack...

    by the way, nice ideas with the map, and I the name is very original, I also like the effort that you put into the hill and the overall racetrack. Overall: 3.75/5... I admit, you could have used a little merging... and also, I only rate 5/5 if I think it's the best it could ever be.

    looks fine but still think foundry is the baddest map to make racemaps on to tiny like i can see in this map its so short and not super special in my eyes some turnes and banked corners not more

    Yet another review by yours truly, but this time with the help of master cheater Coltman87...

    Glen Helen raceway had two irregular features that caught my eye: the starting gate and the "technical hill climb." The starting gate is unique to others as it uses a complicated formula of dumpsters, grav lifts, and mancannons. Its cool, but sometimes a grav lift survives, letting one dumpster remain. You should probably make them respawn "never." Moving on, the uncommon hill climb is something I've seen in very few racetracks, but this one can be somewhat difficult after coming around the turn. Still, as Borat might say, "Very nice."

    The regular elements of the track perform well, but I think you should add another wall to increase the difficulty of the banked turn. Speaking of that, it is possible to skip the banked turn by keeping against the right wall after the hill, but I'm not sure how practical that is. The second jump is also problematic, as going to far to the right, which happens often due to the jump, can result in falling off the track, which can be fixed with the addition of a wall or shield door, as can the skipping of the banked turn. This can easily be a 5 star course, even if you don't fix the hill.
    Scores: Coltman87: 4/5. Me: 4/5
    Final Score: 4/5
