it worked out well, thanks for asking. i didn't switch to fast track, but did do the crimping trick to make the looser tracks stay together better. My 9 year old son goes through intermittent bouts of interest in setting the set up, then not touching it for months as it obstructs the family room floor, then finally yielding to my wife's pleas to put pack it up...until the cycle starts over again.
Since i posted we have gone through the entire cycle of extreme interest through packing up, and now that soccer season is winding down and Christmas approaching, I expect the extreme interest phase to ramp up here in the next month or so.
