Abstract
A pivotable vane positioned between lanes of a multi-laned track is actuated by a toy vehicle to obstruct one of the lanes after the vehicle has passed. In a slotless track any pursuing vehicle in an obstructed lane must be diverted to another lane or collide with the obstacle which is designed to throw a colliding vehicle off the track. In a slotted track, the pursuing vehicle in an obstructed lane must wait for the competitor to clear the obstacle.
