1 - do you know someone with a table saw?
2 - track saws are a lot of money. If you are using it 'one time' try looking at a normal circular saw (with the proper blade) and a metal straight edge cutting guide with a variable clamp mechanism you can clamp to the work piece.

If you are set on a track saw then Festool or DeWalt but you are looking at $600+.

I've got a table saw but luging 3/4 plywood with my bad back is impossible plus it takes 2 people to get a straight cut. I could use a straight edge but I need something with a dust collection port. Dust gets all over the train room and is a mess to clean up. I may wait until summer so I can cut it outside. I would use the track saw many times but they are expensive. Menard's has one for 200.00 but this maybe a you get what you pay for thing.
