Need Track?
Just a heads-up - Went to Toys-R-Us today and they had 21 inch sections of orange track with clear/transparent connectors for 99c each.

thanks for the tip... "toys for tots" kids can use some track to go with the cars we all part with this time of year...2 lanes of 42", or1 lane of 84" for $ 4.00, and a half dozen cars .... the deserving young ones are stoked on xmas day...
The TRU here in town has the long segments for $1 as a normal thing. However, I would like to warn folks that since the segments sit in the slightly-too-small box for so long that they have a natural bend in them - a slight curl - that for the life of me I can't get straight. I've tried putting heavy things on top of them and they just curl back up.
So before you buy a large stock (like I did) maybe get a few and see if they can get straight in your own track setup. Otherwise you're kind of stuck with half-curled track.
I have a Toys R Us outlet near me and they are selling them for 79 cents each--high wall. Bought 24 pieces. Havent used all of the track pieces yet, but havent seen any bend in these.
Male sure you get a connector with each piece of track.
....too bad I already spent this month's "fun money" on Sizzlers Fat Track.
