I have a ton of Fastrack from my first layout. I just moved into a larger home and will begin a new layout soon. Now that I am more "seasoned" in the world of O Gauge I'd really like to use a Gargraves track. I spent a fortune on the Fastrack. So my question is...will any other manufactures track connect to Lionel Fastrack?

Not directly, but Fastrack has a conversion piece that connects tubular O31 track to Fastrack. Since you can buy tubular <-> Gargraves pins, I'd assume you could use that as well, though I've never actually tried it.
I have done it in a section where I wanted to use a Ross curved switch. I pulled the pins out of the Fastrack and used the gargraves to tubular pins. It works well but you have to shim the gargraves so it is the same height as the Fastrack.
Thank you everyone.
If you really want to go full GarGraves/Ross, you will be shocked & awed to see that Fastrack, when divided up into logical lots, often sells for retail or more, plus shipping, on eBay. The sale of your current track will likely fund a significant portion of your new track system.
That's a good point. I could really justify going with a new track if I could get a return on my Fastrack investment. Thanks for the idea.
