Is SuperTrack like a Hot Wheels track?
Well, yes and no. Yes, it’s made from ABS and designed for racing. No, SuperTrack is made differently and is much stronger. As an example, a 7′ long, two lane wide section of SuperTrack supported in the exact middle will ‘droop’ only about 6″ at each end. Quite stiff for something that weighs only 3 pounds. Try this with a Hot Wheels track! The Hot Wheels track (a Mattel trademark) is injection molded in many different forms and is much thinner. SuperTrack is extrusion molded in only one profile. That profile is then punched to provide the required openings for the start or finish section and, depending on the particular section has feet or other plastic parts glued in place. In addition, the four lane version uses three short (7.5″) identical extruded sections, upside down between long sections, to mount the starting assembly, support the curved junction of the sections at the ‘bottom of the hill’ and raise the final section at the finish line for wire clearance.
