Abstract
A toy includes a toy vehicle, a launching assembly, and a rotatable sparking mechanism for generating sparks before the vehicle is launched from the launching assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the sparking mechanism is built into the push handle wherein advancement of the push handle along the base track causes rotation of a drive gear thereby generating sparks. The plunger is selectively maintained in a depressed position until the drive gear disengages from the rack gear.
