I don't mean to doubt anyone's abilities but you want a rookie team to build a track system? And it will be superior? Track systems are riddled with all sorts of inherent problems, and unless there is a step to climb (which I'm actually fairly certain there will be, but we'll see) I haven't seen a compelling argument for the use of them.
