Pinewood Derby Practice Track Stands
These are the instructions for the Track Stand for 16 to 26 foot Practice Tracks
Instructions for the other stands are very similar.
This track stand can be assembled and disassembled in a few minutes. Glue should not be required but fittings may loosen over time. If this happens, a small amount of super glue can be used. This stand supports up to two lanes of track.
This kit has the following parts:
3: Elbow connectors
3: T connectors
1: 3-way connector
3: End caps
3: 8" Foam covers
1: 20 1/4" tube
1: 18 1/4" tube
1: 13" tube
1: 9 1/2" tube
2: 6 3/4" tubes
5: 8 3/4" tubes
1: 3 1/2" tube
1: Small cardboard box
Assemble the track stand as shown above. Push all tubes as far as they can go into the connectors.
Place the track on the stand such that the track joints are resting on the second and third supports.
A one inch or longer bolt can be inserted into the track to prevent the track from moving on the stand, Drill a hole 4 inches from the end in the center groove in the track section to be used for the start of the track. The hole should be big enough to insert the bolt. Insert the bolt in the hole and secure it with the nut. Do the same for another track section if you are building a two lane track. The holes for both lanes should be the same distance from the start of the track. The bolts will rest on the foam support and prevent the track from moving.
Place the small cardboard box under the third track joint as shown. The longer side end dimension of the box should be vertical. Your track is ready.
