A toy vehicle slot track is formed from a plurality of interconnecting
track segments. Each segment includes two opposing ends, each end having
a pair of coupling projections intended to mate with corresponding
coupling sockets on an interconnecting segment. Each end further includes
at least one locking lug which in a first preferred embodiment mates with
a corresponding locking tab or in a second preferred embodiment mates
with a locking recess. The interconnecting track segments are thus
releasably locked together by the coupling projections and coupling
sockets, acting in combination with the locking lug and locking tab or
recess. Each segment further includes a plurality of conductive strips
partially embedded in each segment, extending between the opposing ends.
At least one end portion of each one conducting strip extends beyond the
end of the track segment, and is bent to wrap around the end portion of
the track segment. At least one conducting strip is bent to increase the
contact pressure on a conducting strip of an adjoining track segment.
