You could race them uphill by adding a hill in the lower section of your
track. I believe most of your tracks start about 4 foot in the air with a
gravity pull ll the way down. What you would do is have the first downhill
go to 1 foot above the floor then create an upsweep to about the 2 foot
mark. THen let gravity pull again.
THere have been some folks on here that say the older boys should not
participate. That's hogwash. Our boys that is one of there favorite
things. THat is when they design their "DREAM CAR" Even my 17 year olds
enjoy it. The biggest competition we have is seeing who can knock the
commanders out of the race.
