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

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

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. :fp:

makes me miss the ol pinewood derby races in cub scouts! looks like fun. wish i could make it. my step dad has thousands and thousands of hot wheels collected over the years, im sure i could find a winner :P

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

I'm waiting for this new Hot Wheels Mugen Mid-Engine Honda CR-X to come out, this will surely fly off the pegs!
