Models Available:

Configurations for the all aluminum 'Freedom Series' and the wooden 'Classic Series'

Lanes: 2,3,4, and 6
Length: The Standard = 32' 40' and 48' tracks and their corresponding shipping charges are also listed on the pricing page.

Please contact us about wider and longer tracks that we will quote on an individual basis.

Timers:

As a free service we will pre-drill your track for any of the electronic timers commercially available or to your individual specifications. We do not have to do this, you can, it is just a convenience for you. We typically install the timers 12" from the end of the track.

Pinewood Staging Stadium

Tired of disorganized shoeboxes and dropped cars? Set one of our Pinewood Staging Stadiums next to your starting line. This sturdy yet lightweight product stores and organizes up to 48 cars! No more hassle wondering which car runs next. Simply set the order and race! Set another Stadium at the finish line to collect and rank the finishing cars. Convenient handholds allow you to transport all 48 cars at once!

The Pinewood Staging Stadium is made of powder coated cnc-formed aluminum. The cars are secured on their bellies and further protected by end barriers. Rubber feet on the base protect surfaces from marring.

Anodized Freedom Series Tracks

The Anodizing Process

Anodizing is not like paint. It cannot be removed by solvents and is not easily scratched. Aluminum is immersed in a tank containing an electrolyte having a 15% sulfuric acid concentration. Electric current is passed through the electrolyte and the aluminum is made the anode in this electrolytic cell; the tank is the cathode. Voltage applied across the anode and cathode causes negatively charged anions to migrate to the anode where the oxygen in the anions combines with the aluminum to form aluminum oxide. Aluminum oxide is grown out of the surface during anodizing and then becomes aluminum hydrate that is extremely hard. The surface will be a cosmetically pleasing uniform 'satin' silver that will be less susceptible to scratches.

Points to Consider

Anodizing is an electro-chemical process which physically alters the surface of the metal to produce a tough oxide layer on the surface. It should be noted that as the anodized surface is a layer of aluminum oxide, rather than metal, it exhibits a very high resistance to electric current.

Many metals are structurally weakened by the oxidation process, but not aluminum. Aluminum can actually be made stronger and more durable through 'anodizing'.

Anodized aluminum can be nearly as hard as diamond under the right anodizing process.

Anodizing is not an inexpensive option, however, our purchasing volume affords us the opportunity to provide this service at a competitive price.

Extra Sections

We designed our standard 32' derby track with four distinctly drilled 8' sections. The first 8' section incorporates the starting gate and is fully elevated by two legs (one 42" leg and one 12" leg). The leading edge of the track is 48" off the floor. The second 8'section continues the induced curve of the first section and is approximately 1/3 of its length off of the floor. The third and fourth 8' sections lie flat on the floor. The fourth 8' section will be drilled (12" from the end) to accept any timer you choose. The 30" braking ramps are bound together and attached to the end of the track. We expand our track to 40' and 48' by simply adding extra 'third' sections. (You can actually run our track as a 16' and 24' track as well.) You can add extra sections to the track at any time.

Adding Lanes

The modular way we designed the Freedom Series Aluminum track allows you to expand the lanes on your track as your pack and budget grows. You can start with a two lane this year and grow to a three lane or four lane two years from now.

Some of our assembly components are width specific; e.g. the starting gates. We have structured our pricing so that when you grow your track the parts you no longer need can be exchanged. The pricing listed reflects your taking advantage of this exchange program.
