(Anamosa, IA) — An eastern Iowa toy company that makes flexible two-lane racetracks is struggling with supply chain troubles as we approach the busy holiday season. Blu Track president and co-founder Randy Belding says they don’t have the necessary supplies to meet current orders, let alone create a large special order they’d hoped to donate to the Toys for Tots program. Belding says they need extruder P-V-C and “unfortunately, we only have one source for it and they’re not even giving us a date anymore of when we can expect our next shipment.” Belding says the Blu Track kits allow kids to race two cars at once, side-by-side, while the dual tracks are also being used in school science and physics labs for basic force and motion lessons and even complex coaster designs. Blu Track has long used a Pennsylvania supplier for its P-V-C, but everything has ground to a halt.
