Simple connectors for hot wheels racing.

Hello fellow races. A simple but very overlooked connector that will join your tracks and it doesn't cost much. Thanks to Vaughn of redline Derby I looked at his track pictures and studied what he did when it came to measuring , aligning, and to ensure a positive more challenging and smooth race. One thing I have noticed that he has used on his track or shall I say under his track it's something that we overlook to use but when it comes to our icicle treats we never thought. "One day you going to be used for something special"the simple connector I'm talking about is popsicle sticks. Now I have been experimenting with the popsicle sticks. Now in carpentry school that I graduated from we had to use maybe not popsicle sticks they may be about three times the size of a popsicle stick and we had to build a model house as are graduation grade but enough about my educational background. Popsicle sticks has been used for many things I can go through the list of it but it'll take us all day and I'm not trying to do that we all have things to do. Vaughn's track he sets up with popsicle sticks to ensure there's no movement left and right and sometimes maybe even when the weather change the track does not disconnect because it's shrinking and even if it does shrink is very little due to weather we all go through that. Now I've been experimenting with tongue depressor popsicle sticks jumbo size I will say here they make a good connector but what I have experiment with what it leaves which I'm sorry I don't have a picture for it leaves a hump right where the two tracks connect. After using hot glue and wood glue to combine the jumbo tongue depressors, I've noticed after I ran a few cars down that they was swimming and I was wondering why was they swimming. So as I look back at Vons description on how he set up his track I looked at the size of his popsicle sticks that he used and they are the standard size that we get our popsicle treats on. Vaughn I will say you are a genius but sometimes I wonder do I give you too much credit LOL. But for all seriousness a lot of y'all guys have a lot of information that people can use everyday when it comes to hot wheels racing or even any of a hobby and I appreciate y'all and it's a shout out to all the racers that I seen and know and also have met. But I'm waiting to get a 500 popsicle stick box and I'm going to experiment with the standard ones the difference is that with the standards will be as wide as the bottom groove under the hot wheels track and also vintage red line track. Now I have not experiment with the fat track it may work but I have not experiment with it. Since I have not experiment with it this is a idea for somebody else to take on. But thank you Vaughn they are my connectors to my track. 3"go in one side the other side gets the other 3" . That makes for a more sturdier connector that gives a more secure of your track, maybe even help to make your track straighter take it from Vaughn he did it. So for the new school getting into the diecast racing hobby look at different options plus please come here to red line Derby and read their archives if you can't find a archive message redline Derby and hopefully they can revise it to bring it to the top of the archive or even ask them questions it is a lot of experienced racers , builders , modders, etc.here. this is where our experiment what they say how they teach about different things. But I would love to hear some feedback from the experience to the newcomers of diecast what do you think of that idea?
