Whoa.  I just imagined how cool it would be to modify the pants ring
into a mini half-pipe shaped Avus-like track.  The S/F line could be
at the bottom of the bowl, then the track could proceed upwards until
the banking reached 90 degrees, then there could be a 180 degree
left-hand turn back down the banking.  Not sure if i'd want a full
pipe with banked turns on both ends or just one big banked turn and
then a flat hairpin on the other end.  Either way that would rule for
online play. =)  You could even make it so that it's impossible to do
a lap unless you angle your car to leave the pipe on the banked end
and land it on the other side.  Man....
