Aluminum side-guided track?
Aluminum side-guided track?
No, stop typing frantic replies, I'm not wanting to buy one...
I'm trying to figure out what kind of track my kids' cars will run on for their Awana Grand Prix. I asked if it was center guided or side guided, and the response I got was "guided by low walls on both sides" and "metal with the side walls."
The thing is, the only side-wall track I know if is the plastic SuperTrack.
Do metal side-wall tracks exist? Or is it possible that my correspondent is mistaking the twin center guides on a typical Besttrack or Microwizard as "side walls"?

Re: Aluminum side-guided track?
May want to reply and ask if it has a center rail or only outside walls. May need to provide a picture:

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid asking too many questions, because I already feel like a competition-crazy derby dad.
Which...I MIGHT be, but I'd rather hide it.

If it is an aluminum side guide track, it must be a custom job. Likely they mean it is center guide.

They have any pictures posted somewhere of last years event? You could try looking to see if there are any shots of the track. I did that for our cubscouts, even found a youtube video from a previous year.
Re: Aluminum side-guided track?
That's kind of what I was thinking. Pretty sure the track is a rental and not a custom one.gpraceman wrote:If it is an aluminum side guide track, it must be a custom job. Likely they mean it is center guide.
