OT: Reclaiming my youth...
...was in my folks' basement the other day, and found my old Darda car (I've since found out it is a Stratos model), actually made in West Germany. Junior loved watching it go across the floor on its own (actually moved pretty well for 20+ yrs old). So of course I had to go out and find a track today for us to play with it on. The old diecast car can actually do both loops shown here. Amazed me!

...oh man,this could become addictive...
...my wife and I were at Tuesday Morning, the discount home goods place. I ran across a Darda track, missing the cars, but marked down to $7 from $40 (if it included the two $7 cars). Amazingly, it was all there. Talked 'em down to $5, and took it home.
Looks like this, minus the cars:
Junior already loves it. Now we just need a second car, and we can go racin'!

I need to find soem of those tracks. I had a ton of them growing up but now everything is theme based with a bunch of extra crap. I just want nice simple tracks like those you posted. My son loves those things.

One of the great joys of being a parent is the chance to play with toys again. My son and I had a blast with radio controlled cars when he was younger. Have fun!
