SuperTrack Pinewood Track.
from SuperTimer
So durable, it may be the last track you ever buy.
SuperTrack comes from SuperTimer, the ONLY one-stop shop for complete Pinewood Derby systems: SuperTrack, SuperTimer II and RaceManager software.
Unlike wood SuperTrack won't split, unlike aluminum it won't pit and you don't have to build your own storage box! SuperTimer II simply slips on without tools and provides super accurate results. RaceManager runs the race for you! Click the SuperTimer II Pinewood Timer icon on the left for complete information.
SuperTrack is the lightest track.
SuperTrack ships in one 37 pound box with the stand in a separate 9 pound box. Compare that to one wooden track that ships in an 80 pound box or an Aluminum track that ships in three boxes totaling either 115 pounds (50, 35, 30) or 128 pounds (54, 54, 20).
SuperTrack is the most durable track.

SuperTrack is the least expensive track.
For a 4 lane 35 foot track, when compared to two of our major competitors, SuperTrack is anywhere from $140 to $330 less expensive. Even bigger savings with more lanes or longer tracks. And, shipping costs are less. Put another way, you can buy the track, the timer and the race management software from us for little more than you can buy just the track elsewhere.
SuperTrack is the easiest to assemble and disassemble.
SuperTrack assembles with no tools. No nuts, no bolts, no pins. Similar conventional wooden tracks have 20 or more easy-to-lose nuts and bolts, some aluminum tracks have over 100! nuts and bolts. Only SuperTrack disassembles as easily and goes right back in the durable plastic shipping container for storage. There's even an Assembly Video!
SuperTrack is the easiest to store.
Only SuperTrack stores back in its 7' x 9” x 9” shipping container. Other tracks require that you build a storage container that's twice as big for a wooden track and much larger still for an aluminum track because of their pre-bent start section. Just imagine how heavy those other tracks are when surrounded by a large wooden storage box.
SuperTrack is the best finished track.
SuperTrack is the only track that comes with Lane numbers at the start and finish. It even has 8 U.S. flags! It needs no painting or deburring. And its color is molded all the way through.
SuperTrack is the easiest to maintain.
Clean off the graphite with "Soft Scrub," that's it. No painting, no corrosion, no worry about humidity, sunlight, hot attic or damp basement.
SuperTrack is the safest track.
No burrs, no splinters, no electrical safety issues, no back strain from the weight. And, NO damage to gym floors!
SuperTrack is NOT a KIT!
SuperTrack, our ABS Plastic Pinewood Track, is ready to assemble AND RACE right out of the box! SuperTrack assembles with no screws*. Track pieces slide together easily and automatically align within a few thousands of an inch! Major joints are held rigidly together for up-down and side-to-side movement by simple tabs and precision extrusions. End-to-end movement is restricted by a single nylon cord. SuperTrack is the first true redesign of the Pinewood Derby Track since the 1950's. We even include large easy to read Lane numbers at both the start and the finish as well as eight US Flags.
*It does have two (only two!) threaded rods, four cap nuts and two wing nuts to mount the timer and garage at the end of the track, all hand tightened.
The extruded ABS surface is nearly mirror flat. Each lane has 3.4 inches of clear wide surface, edge guided (the same width as many conventional center-guided tracks but slightly wider than some published wood track designs.) Because of the precision edge guides, the wheel's outside, more rounded surface is used to guide the car instead of the sharper inside surface, virtually eliminating lane jumping. Jumping is further reduced by the molded-in smoothness of the guides. And, SuperTrack is so easy to set up, consider running a 'Trial Night' several weeks before the actual race.
There's even an Assembly Video!
Each extruded section of SuperTrack is 2 lanes wide by 7 feet long and weighs only 3 pounds! SuperTrack is available in 4 or 6 lane versions with lengths of 35, 42 and 49 feet. All versions weigh LESS THAN HALF of a similar sized wooden Pinewood Derby Track in total weight and less than one quarter on a section by section basis. Lane sections are custom extruded in Cub Scout Yellow ABS (optional Royal Blue). The gate pegs, finish line sensor mounts and start section interlocks are custom injection molded in Cub Scout Blue ABS. The starting stand pipes are custom extruded Blue ABS. No Pinewood Derby Track weighs less. No track is easier to use. No track will take more abuse.
SuperTrack ships in a nearly indestructible blue corrugated polypropylene (Corex) carton. (Two cartons for 6 lane tracks.) We don't use wood that can split or splinter. The cartons are less than 86" x 9" x 9" (actual dimensions vary slightly by model). AND, SuperTrack goes back in the box after the race for simple and safe storage, even directly on a damp concrete basement floor. Unlike less sophisticated wood and metal Pinewood Tracks, you don't have to build your own storage box.
