Maybe you think of a race track where competitive speed event takes place, involving cars or horses or video game characters riding go-karts. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Maybe that doesn't clear it up very much, but basically what it refers to is a channel to run cables through, that mounts on a wall, ora desk, or some other surface, concealing wires or cables so your set-up looks nice and pretty. www.facebook.com/itsmeisma el Raceway Araceway is a small, enclosed conduit, usually made of plastic, that holds cables inside and is designed to run along walls.
