This track reminds me of the ones I would race against my friends at.

Had a track like that in my basement. Not as long but the same width. My grandfather gave it to me when I was a kid. I remember it ran on a car battery. I would put a little paint thinner on the rubber tires and fish tail the cars all the way down the track while leaving red and black marks on the gray track. It was the most awesome track ever! of course I didnt realize what I had and ruined it. God knows where it is, but i bet it would be worth a fortune or at least my kids could have enjoyed it. The stuff they have these days are complete crap!
