Fantasy castings don't get no respect! While the specifics are TBD, this tournament will celebrate all the crazy car-like and off the wall fantasy castings! To make things even more ridiculous, there will be no limit to the weight and modifications you can make, as long as nothing will damage the track or stab me in the foot!

Rules & restrictions

  • Modified entries only
  • 100000000g maximum weight
  • Must fit on standard orange Hotwheels track without impeding cars in the other lane
  • Limit Unlimited entries per household
  • Everything goes (except propulsion devices - must be gravity-powered)
  • Dry lube only
  • Must be custom painted!

Dates & deadlines

All entries must be received by the host before August 1st.  (May be extended based on timing of Death Race)

How to enter

Contact the tournament host to get the shipping address for entry.

Include at least $7.00 min for return shipping if you want your entries back. Entries not getting returned will be given to the winner as part of the prize.

Include a Race Entry ID slip with your entry

Track

The Tricky Triangle will (probably) be retired this winter; this event will run on a new track (though it will have similar concepts: laned track leading to open track w/ elements of Crash Racers, Coroplast, and an "interesting" finish area.

Race format and scoring

Will incorporate some type of round robin 4-car group stage, followed by standard 4 car groups.

There will be a best in show competition!

Penalties/DNF

Host will do his best to keep cars trackworthy, but no promises!

Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.

Prizes

Custom homemade trophy & possibly other "stuff"

Thanks to Rob Manore of Monster Motorsports for designing a great tournament logo!

This sounds Awesome.  I hope Amazon has enough weights in stock.


  • 220,462 pounds of weights .... so something like 110 tons on the track. Sounds like fun. — SpyDude
  • What’s the chance the track is gonna buckle from the excess weight or if a car hits the castle it’s gonna burst through the wall? You might need wavers and increase insurance. — MagicMike
