Endless vehicle tracks including a body having an outer surface formed of an elastomeric material displaying a series of ground engaging profiles longitudinally spaced along the outer surface, and an inner surface formed a urethane reinforcement material. The inner surface generally displays a series of longitudinally spaced guide-drive lugs for retaining the track on the vehicle and/or driving the vehicle. The urethane reinforcement defines the inner surface of the body. The urethane reinforcement may define wheel path regions of the body, and the urethane reinforcement may even form the guide-drive lugs. The endless vehicle track may further include a fabric reinforcement layer disposed beneath or upon the outer surface of the upper face of the guide-drive lugs. The urethane reinforcement is formed from an admixture including a castable urethane material liquid which fills a mold and hardens to form the urethane reinforcement. The mold also includes a metal reinforcement therein.
