Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for simultaneously starting a plurality of model vehicles on a race track section constructed and arranged to be interconnected with adjacent track sections. The model vehicles are normally powered over the race track running surface by their driving wheels and are directed along the running surface by guide pins which are attached to the vehicles and which are inserted within recessed guide grooves within the race track. The vehicles are restrained from movement along the running surface by stop members which block the movement of the guide pins through the guide grooves. The model vehicles are simultaneously permitted to commence movement along the running surface of the track section by the stop members being simultaneously removed from blocking the pins of the vehicles thereby accurately simulating a racing start.
