Anyone Using Racedeck Flooring?
http://racedeck.com/racedeck.htm
I am wanting to do my garage floor and this looks interesting to me. I don't have any idea what the cost would be to do mine. That may be a factor in my decision. Just wondering if anyone has used this product and what do you think of it?

I havn't used it, but it looks really nice. If it's not too, too expensive, and I don't hear anything bad, I may use it in my shop. Let me know if you find out a price!

Re: Anyone Using Racedeck Flooring? (Ed T)
I work for a company that builds displays for the auto show (as in Detroit) and we use a product called RolaTrac in some of our displays. I just did two car pads in my garage and I really like it. What's different about Rola Trac from other car pads is that it comes in strips and it only takes about 7 strips to do a pad and then you click on your border (if you want one).
Another neat thing about Rola Trac is instead of taking the pad apart or worse yet, dragging and pulling the entire pad out of your garage to clean underneath it is simplified because you can roll it up like a jelly roll and sweep the dirt out of from underneath it.
Here's a link to thier website and here is a photo of my C3 stored on gray pad with black and white trim. Just another option to think about.

:cool: but too expensive for me.. It costs about $1600 for a 400 sq/ft garage... It cost me $250 to paint my garage like this: (Epoxy Garage Floor Paint)

Eddie I can hook you up with a guy in Crossville TN that can sell you the same thing in black that is 3x3 for $7.00 ea tax included. That's nine square feet each for 7 bucks.
That's not that far from you. How many pallets do you want? Jim

Re: Anyone Using Racedeck Flooring? (vette69)
Hmm...
I wonder about stuff with grates in it... blasting off the brakes with brake cleaner and having to worry about the plastic thats on the ground...
How is it for laying on? How hard is it to roll a creeper on? :cool:

Re: Anyone Using Racedeck Flooring? (ZD75blue)
The mats I can get are firm enough to roll a creeper on(Wheels not blades) and a heck of a lot better to lay on than concrete. They link on all four sides and can be made as large as you can afford. $500 will do a 24x24 garage.
Jeff Hall of French's Shoes & Boots has several stores here in TN. He sells it out of his stores and offered it by the pallet to me if I wanted that much. Here is his number. Jeff Hall, 1-931-456-7744 is the Warehouse Phone number.
This is number two quality, but it is very nice. It may have a cosmetic blemish or it may not. I was very happy with all I have bought so far. It is extremely heavy! It is a commercial grade of matting and probably weighs 10# per section. Jim

Re: Anyone Using Racedeck Flooring? (Shrike)
With the race track stuff, I would be concerned about fluid leaking inbetween the cracks, sitting there, rotting, growing mold, and smelling bad over time.

Re: Anyone Using Racedeck Flooring? (Van Steel)
I say no good for working on the vert. Good for show car but take into account rolling it up all the time to catch oil leaks and or to put down floor jacks. I'm sticking to epoxy paint. I decided against the checker board becuase although I like it my potential buyer, who may not care one bit about cars may think it's cheesy. So sticking to like gray epoxy.
