ABSTRACT:
A racetrack convertible guardrail is disclosed herein which includes a plurality of spaced apart upright curved posts or stanchions. The curved posts or stanchions serve to support a racetrack rail which can be formed of metal or wood. Overlying the rail and the stanchions are a continuous number of sheets interfacing with each other to cover the stanchions and the rail for protection of a rider and a horse. Underlying the rail, stanchions and the protective cover is a second rail in the form of tubing or other rail forms supported by a hinged arm that can be utilized for sulky racing. The rail forms are supported by means of collars that are in turn supported by the hinged arm that underlies the stanchion. The collar and the tubing or rail forms can be connected to another form of stanchion that has a stake for supporting the stanchion, rail and tubing with the collars for purposes of grass racing and which can be removed by moving said stake and other components of the rail. The stake and other components can be seated within a ground fixture. The ground fixture is formed of a first flexible outer tube portion and a second inner tube portion seated interiorly of said first outer tube portion and adapted for placement in the ground wherein the first outer tube portion extends beyond said inner tube portion and is adapted for exposure to the ground surface so that impacts against said first outer tube portion are received against a flexible tubular member and said second inner tubular portion is of a fixed resilient nature for holding the stake therein.
