  • Patent number: 4249733
    Abstract: A racing toy including a pair of side-by-side main tracks defining down-hill paths for a pair of gravity operated vehicles. The opposite ends of each track are spaced from each other and a pair of pivotal ramps are disposed in such space so as to in effect interconnect such ends. Each ramp has a vehicle receiving portion at one end and an angularly disposed launching portion and is pivotally supported adjacent the initial elevated end of its respective main track. The ramp may be alternatively moved from a lowermost vehicle receiving position to an elevated vehicle launching position so as to in effect form continuous closed loop trackways around which the vehicles may cycle a desired number of turns. The means for elevating the ramps include outwardly projecting handles for the participants of the toy to appropriately manipulate the respective vehicles across the space defined by the track ends.
