Abstract
A toy vehicle track section connector has a main body with opposing planar first and second surfaces defined by a central portion, first and second outer portions, and first and second end portions joining the central, first and second portions together. Two smaller posts and a third larger post project from the first surface at positions along the longitudinal centerline and on opposite sides of the transverse centerline of the connector. A plurality of ribs project outwardly from the second surface along the first and second outer sections and first and second end portions and form a frame sized to be received in a channel provided on the bottom side of each track section. A hole and cutout are provided at each end of each track section to receive either smaller post and half the larger post, respectively.
