good point with the lights. although i figured common sense would tell you not place them where they would shine in your face.[8D] if anything the flood lights would do that more than anything no matter where they are placed plus, they are concentrated to one small area especially since the track is right next to his house you would need 2 maybe 3 sets of those for it to be effective. i would be more tempted to go with the solar powered led's but, to each there own i suppose. they hardly put off enough light to "partially " blind you but, would give a faint glow to the track. if you get the set that is self contained they would be easy to move.
