For a start I would do the x=... first since it does not depend on f. Then you only need to do the find if x true. Then in the find use .count and test it for >0 rather then finding a record. Also extract the find out into one or more scopes. Are there relationships between user and track? If so then you may be able to use current_user.tracks rather than testing user_id.
