well first off, i would use matedit or some other world maker for the track...not hard...
about the camera, use the SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW command...if you don't know how to use it, here is a different snippit i made demonstrating this command
`3rd person view
`by zach turnlund
`setup
sync on
sync rate 30
autocam off
`make player object
make object cylinder 1,1
color object 1,rgb(0,0,255)
`make matrix to walk on
make matrix 1,100,100,10,10
randomize matrix 1,5
`main loop
do
`color backdrop cause i don't like blue
color backdrop 0
`variables
oldx#=object position x(1)
oldz#=object position z(1)
oldy#=get ground height(1,x#,z#)
`controls
if upkey()=1 then move object 1,1
if downkey()=1 then move object 1,-1
if rightkey()=1 then yrotate object 1,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+5)
if leftkey()=1 then yrotate object 1,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)-5)
`position
x#=object position x(1)
z#=object position z(1)
y#=get ground height(1,x#,z#)
`pos cam
position object 1,x#,y#,z#
pay#=object angle y(1)
`this is the set camera to follow command. the first 3 variables
`are what you want the camera to follow. the 4th variable is the direction
`you want the camera to face. in this example, we want the camera to face
`the same way as the object we are following. the fifth variable if how far
`away you want the camera to stay from the object being followed. the 6th
`how high you want the camera to be. the 7th place is how the camera is
`smoothed(from 0 to 100). the last is to detect whether or not the camera
`is hitting a static collision box or not. hope it helped.
set camera to follow x#,y#,z#,pay#,10,10,3,1
point camera x#,y#,z#
`sync + loop
sync
loop
p.s.- the snippit was made in DBC
hope i helped
