Toy vehicle playset with manually operable car feeder

A toy vehicle racetrack comprising:

• a base;
• loop track portions attached to said base to form a continuous closed loop racetrack with intersecting track paths at said base;
• a manually operable starting switch configured to allow a user to selectively release at least one toy vehicle onto said continuous closed loop racetrack;
• a manually operable toy vehicle jump ramp configured to allow a user to selectively cause a toy vehicle to either travel along a flat portion of said closed loop racetrack, or launch from said jump ramp through air toward another portion of said closed loop racetrack;
• and
• a catch ramp on said continuous closed loop racetrack and aligned along said toy vehicle racetrack with said toy vehicle jump ramp, said catch ramp further comprising a catch ramp gate pivotably attached to said catch ramp at an entrance end of said catch ramp, wherein said catch ramp is pivotable from (i) a first position in which an exit end of said catch ramp is positioned above said continuous closed loop racetrack by a sufficient distance to allow a toy vehicle on said continuous closed loop racetrack to pass beneath said catch ramp, to (ii) a second position in which said exit end of said catch ramp is in contact with said continuous closed loop racetrack.
