Portable racetrack

Abstract

Implementations of a portable racetrack are provided. In some implementations, the portable racetrack comprises a foldable board comprising a plurality of holes configured to secure accessories to the board. In some implementations, the portable racetrack further comprises detachable guard rails operatively attached to the foldable board using the holes. In some implementations, the portable racetrack includes no mechanism on the foldable board to guide a remote control car that is operated on the racetrack except the guard rails so that the remote control car may freely travel on the racetrack.

         6 . The portable racetrack of  claim 1  wherein the foldable board comprises a paperboard having a plurality of pre-scored edges that can be bended without fracture. 
     
     
         7 . The portable racetrack of  claim 1  wherein the foldable board is manufactured from paper. 
     
     
         8 . The portable racetrack of  claim 1  wherein the foldable board is manufactured from paperboard. 
     
     
         9 . The portable racetrack of  claim 1  wherein the foldable board is manufactured from plastic. 
     
     
         10 . The portable racetrack of  claim 3  wherein the top overlay is manufactured from vinyl. 
     
     
         11 . The portable racetrack of  claim 4  wherein the top overlay and bottom overlay are manufactured from vinyl. 
     
     
         12 . The portable racetrack of  claim 5  wherein the middle overlay is manufactured from vinyl. 
     
     
         13 . The portable racetrack of  claim 3  wherein the top overlay is manufactured from paper. 
     
     
         14 . The portable racetrack of  claim 4  wherein the top overlay and bottom overlay are manufactured from paper. 
     
     
         15 . The portable racetrack of  claim 5  wherein the middle overlay is manufactured from paper. 
     
     
         16 . The portable racetrack of  claim 1  wherein the foldable board comprises holes having a circular shape and an elongated shape. 
     
     
         17 . The portable racetrack of  claim 1  wherein the foldable board comprises a plurality of cluster of holes wherein a cluster of holes comprises openings extending in at least two different directions. 
     
     
         18 . A method of using the portable racetrack of  claim 1 , the method comprising:
 folding the foldable board and storing the board when not in use;   unfolding the foldable board and placing on a surface;   securing guard rails to the foldable board using the holes in the foldable board to form a closed circuit road course; and   placing and operating a remote control car on the unfolded board.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18  wherein the foldable board comprising a plurality of smaller, individual boards operably connected together and foldable at spaces between adjacent boards, wherein the individual boards are connected together by a top overlay sheet that covers a top side of the individual boards, wherein the plurality of individual boards are sufficiently spaced such that when the top overlay sheet is placed over the individual boards, the foldable board can be folded at spaces between adjacent boards, wherein folding the foldable board comprises folding the board at spaces between adjacent boards.
