FasTrak Features

Overlapping rail system with track keys that secure tightly with thumbscrews ensures flush joints between each track section for a level and smooth track.
Redesigned track supports ensure even height and level sit.
Laminated MDF surface is strong and durable.
Custom-extruded aluminum rails are extra strong.
A built-in conduit along the length of the track keeps cables off the floor.
Eight-foot track panels make for easy handling and storage.

The Racetrack

The track simulates to scale a quarter-mile racetrack. Because metric dragsters are about 1/20 the size of real dragsters, the track’s racing distance, from the start to the finish line, is 20 meters – 1/20 of a quarter mile. This simplifies mathematical comparisons to real race cars.

A staging area behind the start gate is big enough to position four to five cars in each lane. Adequate deceleration distance is provided at the end of the track for cars crossing the finish line.

The start/finish gate hardware is sold separately. Compatible with Impulse G3, EZ Start Raceway, and Dual Lane Race Timer.
