I want to make the track about 15 feet long and keep it in 5 feet pieces so I can travel with it.

I have seen interlocking pvc tracks on ebay but I can't find them now. Link me if you know where to find them.
 
They better be great for $40 a pair... I think I'm going to go the wooden dowels route for now.

C2V Should I just buy the biggest ones that fit into 1 and 1/4" pvc pipe and just squeeze them into the pipe each time?
 
I'd get dowels that fit snugly. Cut them to fit 4-6" in each side. You can even go so far as to glue them into one side.
 
You get wha you pay for

Hey man. Proper production equipment pays for it's self. $40.00 for reusable tools isn't a bad deal.
 
Take the exact same diameter of pvc pipe and cut it into 1 foot lengths. These will be your connectors.

Rip the connectors down the middle. (Saw them length wise). Then squeeze them to fit inside your track. You may have to actually cut out a lengthwise section of the pipe if it's really thick or has a rather large diameter.

Works like a charm and damn near free.
