I would like to create a 3 foot drag strip, made out of wood, and there 
would be two lanes, groved to fit cars that are about 3/4 inch wide.  The 
cars should be pulled by a magnet, that is controled by a on/off switch.  
I would like to create this, but I don't know how to control the magnets 
and the switch.  Please help.  Thanks.
