When I was a kid I used to lay books flat along the floor and whizz my superfast cars over them! I have no idea why but it worked really well!
The best 'book road' was one made up of annuals, which more or less where all the same thickness. The flatter the road the better the whizz!
For extra thrills I used to add flyovers and ramps by angling the books. These needed an extra smooth flat surface for maximum run up. Boy, did those die-cast fly over those annuals!
It seems strange looking back that I bothered with book roads. There was plenty of track around from my Hot Wheels and Corgi Rockets sets, so why did I do it? Maybe it was easy to do and a tons of fun, important stuff to a seven year old!
Did you build book roads readers?

rather stupidly (but then I was 7) I used to lay out all my annuals in a line, Impossibles, Rupert, POW!, Wham! etc and slide along them in my socks!
