Going Blu Track
After running Fords Fords Fords and having lots of trouble with connectors, side walls folding inward and track wobbling twisting and raising. I know there were too many wrecks. I redid heats that were found to be the tracks fault. Now Walmart has 18 ft of track for $34 so I thought I would give that a try. Some say that I will have trouble connecting it to HW stuff but I can try.....................

the blue track lanes appear to be close together, [not pictured]
a starter unit that has the [any color] track anchored above the starter, with the track running through it will work...
the distance between lanes shouldn't matter... should also work well with a runthrough SUPER 6 LANE RACEWAY's finish line... no adapting to hot wheels...
... GO STROLLER GO !....
I noticed that the lanes on Blutrack appear wider than typical Hot Wheels or Dragtracks track. This could be a problem if cars start wiggling around in the track and crash when they get too fast.

Playing around with the B T I had the track at an almost vertical drop and the cars rolled pretty fast but they did not derail.....at least not until I put in the 6" jump............AIRBORNE TIME.......I also put them thru a loop and a ridiculous more than vertical banked curve they did very well thru those........the tracks are about a 1/4 of an inch wider....

I tried marrying the B T to the HW 6 lane starting track. I did not work since adjacent HW lanes interfered but this works....
I think I will cut off the connector rails off the bottom of HW track about half way down and then just black tape the end of the track section down to the B T track to make for a smoother transition, not that it isn't smooth just the way it is.
The B T came with a metal stabilizer bar you put under any loops you might make. It has little tabs that slide into the outer edge of the track snugly. I'm thinking of making several of these to fasten the track to the little tables I use normally. A couple pieces of duct tape ought to suffice......
As for the 6 lane finish line . I think that will work fine as soon as I make a better "lower" bracket for it.............Stroller
keep us posted on how this track works out. I was thinking of going with a 50ft Blu Track Pro (Grey Track Color) but wasn't sure about getting it to lay flat. I know I could use Velcro to hold it down...but not sure if the cars would be faster on Blu Track vs. Hot Wheels seamless. Maybe you could do a comparo for us with some Hot Wheels Track.
