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

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

    That track is something like 40 feet long.

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

    I used did that as a kid growing up, but I made mine all aerodynamic and everyone else just barely took any wood of theirs, so yeah I lost. Bummer, but i was like 5 or 6 years old then hahaha.

    They used to race cars here in Tampa and they had a modified class and stock class, in the modified class these guys would change the wheels, and fill the cars with lead, pretty wild to hold a 1 or 2 pound hot wheels car in your hand, hahaha
