Mark, in order to start at table level with the elevated track, you have to taper into the Homasote, see below. The 1/2" Homasote is cut out and the 1/2" plywood for the elevated ramp starts at table level there.
As you can see, the indicated spot actually has the ramp plywood even with the Homasote and it gradually ramps up. I have a couple of feet of gradual ramp easement to minimize issues transitioning into the grade.

Thank you, John. I can see where the lighter layer is tapered down to the darker layer, and it will make a great vertical easement into your grade. So are you grinding away plywood, Homasote, or both to get the taper?
