Nice.

Mini-track lanes are typically 4- to 6-feet wide.
That would be for a real race track with multiple cars right? I figure 3 feet for my track with just my car ought to be fine, plus it should make me a more precise driver.

Honestly, IMHO 4-feet is the minimum you want to mess with or try for a TRACK. Any smaller than that and it's too hard to navigate the lanes or have any speed going for it to be any fun let alone have the room to go at and land jumps.
You don't really learn better car control from driving overly narrow lanes, kinda in the same way you don't learn to drive a 1:1 car better navigating narrow streets with cars parked on both sides (all it does is force you to proceed slower).
