Hi, there is a shortage of pinewood derby tracks in my area for rental so my teenager and I are considering starting a business renting a track. I’ve run a few derby’s for cub scout packs my kids where in so I have experience with the microwizard freedom series track and the derby magic track.
I like the hotwheel option with the derby magic track but I felt the plastic track quickly began to wear in the joining areas after multiple uses so I am leaning toward an aluminum track.
Right now I think I need to pick either the freedom track or the besttrack. I was wondering if anyone has experience with multiple assembly and tear downs with the freedom track and the besttrack? My two questions are durability of the mating services after multiple uses of 20 or more times and setup/breakdown time for each once you have it down pat.
I had issues with the screws on the freedom series stripping over time but on the flip side I am concerned that the pins on the besttrack will loosen up over time and cause misalignment. It looks like the besttrack may set up faster than the freedom track but I wanted to get some input from people who have used both.
Thanks!!
Matt
