The Pinewood Derby Track (page 2)
Spring actuated start gate with reset switch for the lane timer. The 1/2" dowels are set in a 2x4 that is mounted to the bottom of the track with a short piece of piano hinge. The trigger is mounted on a piece of all-thread.
The 4 ft. skid ramp at the end of the track is half an
inch high and is covered with black electrical friction tape. There
is a 2" foam pad at the end but only the fastest cars get that
far. And even then, just barely.
