Expect to see some 50+ Miatas, V8 Miata's , Turbo'd, Supercharger, & wide bodied madness. So come on out and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow Miata owners.

    (SEE OFFICIAL RULES BELOW)

    Must be a 1/64 scale "Hot Wheels" car, no Matchbox, no Etrl, no Johnny Lighting, etc,

    We will have some Hot Wheels available for purchase at the meet for $1.00 if you don't have any, or you can just go raid the local Target, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Toys'R'Us stores!!!!

    GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!


    Here is actual 1/64 scale downhill racing, this is where the weight, and wheels of the cars can make all the difference!

    This is from the big Hot Wheels Convention they have every year in California.

    That track is something like 40 feet long. Mine is not as long, but still bigger than the store bought stuff.

    They used to run downhill races like this in Tampa but folks started betting "real" money and it got shut down.

    Here is the track I made last year, I will make some improvements to it so that I can set it up faster, and the cars run smoother.

    Okay for the Club Members Raffle MazdaRoadster.net will be donating some cool items for you guys attending.

    (1) OFFICIAL MAZDA FLAG 5' X 3' IT'S HUGE

    (3) OFFICIAL MAZDA SIGN (Its Metal, and really nice too!)

    (1) OFFICIAL MAZDA PARTY COOLER $110.00 VALUE

    Its our way of saying Thank You for supporting the forum!!

    The Party Cooler is really cool too, its a lightweight, soft-sided, portable party cooler that comes with a removable and collapsible stand, so your drinks and/or snacks are accessible at a comfortable height. It comes with a removable water-resistant interior divider that allows you to divide the cooler into two sections, each with its own access. Separate food from drinks or beverages by type. In the event there's no shade, you can insert a standard-sized umbrella (not included) into the integrated slot to keep the cooler out of the sun. The Party Cube can be used for backyard parties or as a refreshment stand at your next outing at the beach/pool.

    Just a reminder for those wanting to race some Hot wheels on the track............


    The car MUST be on the blister card, this way we can ensure a level playing field.

    When you have "loose" cars folks will use lubricants on the axles, use inline wheels, and add lead to the chassis.

    So again for everyone, the car MUST be on the original blister card, NEW, or NEW old stock.


    LOOSE -----> ..... NO


    NEW ON CARD -----> ..... YES
