Electronically controlled roadrace system with sound generator

A roadrace system for racing toy electrically powered cars over a defined course under operator control, comprising:

• a track means for defining the path of travel for the toy car and providing it with driving power, said track means having a section thereof that is selectively electrically independant;
• means for selectively electrically disconnecting said section from the track means;
• and
• a control means responsive to the toy car contacting the selectively electrically independant section and said disconnecting means being actuated for causing information to be conveyed to the operator.

A roadrace system for racing toy electrically powered cars over a defined course under operator control, comprising:

• a track means for defining the path of travel for the toy car and providing it with driving power;
• means for sensing the presence of the toy car at a particular section of the track means;
• a control means responsive to said sensing means for determining and causing audio race condition information to be conveyed to the operator;
• and
• sound generator means controlled by said control means for audibly conveying information to the operator.

A roadrace system for racing toy electrically powered cars over a defined course under operator control, comprising:

• a track means for defining the path of travel for the toy car and providing it with driving power;
• means for sensing the presence of the toy car at a particular section of the track means;
• a control means responsive to said sensing means for causing information to be conveyed to the operator regarding a pit-stop function being performed on the toy car while located at the particular section of the track means;
• and
• operator activated switch means for causing said control means to respond to said sensing means.

A roadrace system for racing toy electrically powered cars over a defined course under operator control, comprising:

• track means for defining the path of travel for the toy car and providing it with driving power;
• means for sensing the presence of the toy car at a first section of the track means;
• means for sensing the presence of the toy car at a second section of said track;
• control means responsive to said sensing means for causing information to be conveyed to the operator, including information regarding a pit-stop function being performed on the toy car while located at said second section of said track means;
• and
• means for performing said pit-stop function.
