ABSTRACT:
A track system for toy vehicles formed from a plurality of like interconnectable track sections, each section having a main body portion with upwardly disposed opposing sidewall portions, opposite ends of the sidewall portions and main body portion having sets of projections configured and dimensioned for interlocking engagement with like track sections. Hook members are integrally formed in the main body portion on opposite ends of the longitudinal centerline thereof for interlocking engagement. Each track section is preferably formed in a planar configuration with reduced cross sectional areas defining hinge sections for enabling pivoting of the sidewall portions into transverse relation relative to the main body portion. Regions on opposite sides of the hinge section are configured for interlocking to maintain the positions of the sidewall portions.
