Hi Bone- ah I remember the Tyco race tracks my cousin had one. I didn’t really get into that because it just seemed the cars went round and round and didn’t do much more. Hot Wheels they seem to have a bit of danger and excitement rolled into their tracks though.

Hi Louise- Thanks i am glad you enjoyed the post. My daughter is loving the Barbie track.

How cool is that! I want to play too!!! My grand daughter just started watching the Olympics this year. She would just LOVE this. Heck, I wouldn’t mind it myself.

Thank you for brightening my day, Michelle. I’m sure it was a day to remember:)

Oh man, this looks like one of those toys that if my sister had had it, I would have played with it all the time

If you ever find an old Tyco race track with lap counter I’m inviting myself over to play

Speedcat- Dan doesn’t know what he is talking 99.92% of the time. If a toy only needs 4AAA batteries you came out ahead- my kids have toys that take a car battery, three cans of red bull and a stick of dynamite to get them to work.

Jenny- what you describe sounds like any hot wheels set and thanks.

Meleah- I know we are pretty cool.

Dan- YES they do it’s called a LINUX HAPPY MEAL.

Wow! That’s quite a ramp! It reminds me of a toy we had when we were kids but I can’t quite put my finger on what it was… it had blue ramps that may or may not have looped… but that’s all I can remember…

It’s nice to see pictures of your kids: it’s always nice putting faces to names.

Now that looks fun … and I don’t care what DCR says. Toys were so much better years ago, for both genders. Seems like everything now is a peice of crap from China that needs 4 AAA batteries.
One of my own favs was the Sizzlers Racing Track. They now have a vintage “remake” out, and we set it up for my nephew last Christmas. COOL
