With a glow-in-the-dark dual loop, six dual glow-in-the-dark corners, and more than 36 feet of glow-in-the-dark track, this set lights up the night as kids send their R/Cs zooming through the course. The two included Tracer Racers beam purple light rays from their undercarriages onto the track, which is engineered to emit glow remnants long after the racers have passed using Light Trace Technology.
