Pinewood derby track made from plastic

Abstract

An improved Pinewood Derby (and derivatives) Track is disclosed being composed of plastic. In the preferred embodiment a plastic extrusion two lanes wide and eight feet long is joined to additional similar sections by shorter identical extrusions to make a track of virtually any width and length. The result is a very low weight, very uniform, very low maintenance track that can be assembled without tools.

I claim as my invention:  
     
         1 . A Pinewood Derby (and derivatives) Track made from plastic.  
     
     
         2 . The device in  claim 1  where the plastic is extrusion molded.  
     
     
         3 . The device in  claim 1  where the track is composed of sections.  
     
     
         4 . The device in  claim 3  where the track sections may be combined edge-to-edge for essentially unlimited lanes.  
     
     
         5 . The device in  claim 3  where the track sections may be combined end-to-end for essentially unlimited length.  
     
     
         6 . The device in  claim 3  where the track sections may be composed of one or more lanes.  
     
     
         7 . The device in  claim 3  where the track sections are joined by an interface means that is essentially identical to the track section.  
     
     
         8 . The device in  claim 5  where the method of maintaining end-to-end contact uses an elastic means.
