For the truck stop, I'd likely just cut out the interesting bits, because the rest of it can more or less be recreated with the arena blocks.

I didn't do it with a pack-in arena, but I did do it with Tilkendröm, my wooden 3D arena. It's...hit or miss. You need a real good way of keeping the map pieces together as a single coherent object when you're trying to play the game, without introducing lumps/etc for the cars to catch on.
I need to recut the malevolent MDF monster, speaking of...what I have [a catch fence that forms a solid 'box' for the tiles to go in, "Don't Break the Ice!" style] isn't bad, but the joints are too sloppy, giving it more play than I'm happy with. The small size of the tiles is great for fitting in an 18-gallon tote, but also means lots of seams...if it spreads across 2 tables and they're not even, that creates ridges, so need to address that too.
