Chaos Canyon is proud to present a whole new track and style of racing at Gasoline Gorge - Only The Savage Survive

Racing will be teams based and it will be important to select your vehicles carefully as each has their advantages and disadvantages in this new style of racing combat. There will even be full Death Race Events that include traps and hazards plus a bunch of marauders trying to take you out head on. 

The start is in a giant cage at the container yard and is four lanes wide which runs down to a totally unique seesaw bridge then the four lanes merge into two lanes, sometimes causing accidents as the cars battle for supremacy, before they swing around the first corner and through the first of five gates, and into the straight and through the old Maddick Steel Works building (which has a special surprise during death races) then into a banked turn, the exit to which is Gate 2. Then it's a brief tunnel section before drivers pop out into the quarry. Here drivers can make an all out assault either down the main straight for another two gates or they can choose the shortcut lane, which has a death defying jump over a toxic pit - if you land in the toxic pit your car is instantly dead and no longer races, however if you can make the distance and stick the landing, you can take a guaranteed first place and more fuel. The main track after the long straight (which also has a special death race surprise) banks around through part of the old quarry before rejoining the shortcut lane at Gate 5 then it's a full on sprint to the finish line, which is up a slight incline. To be considered as finishing, part of your vehicle must make it all the way to the other side of the checkered finish line, otherwise you've come up short. During death races, the finish line also has a surprise for you, in the form of two Marauders that come at you head on.

The start gate with it's huge steel door that tilts up and out of the way to get a race underway.

The four lane, automated seesaw bridge that tilts down as cars drive over it, then they automatically reset to their start position ready for the next race. Cars can crash here depending on how they exit the seesaw.

Beware of falling objects through the old Maddick Steel Works building (only happens during Death Races. The giant weight swings down out of the rafters if someone drives over the sensor at the exit to the building, to catch the slower vehicles.

the shortcut lane can be randomly taken by any and all vehicles depending how they exit the turn from the tunnel

the toxic pit and the jump you have to make to clear it - it's about 3-4 car lengths of gap you have to clear and land on the other side.

Down the quarry main straight, there is a suspicious dump truck that has been converted into a trap by the Marauders. If a vehicle passes over the sensor behind the truck, it dumps whatever is in the tray out onto the track to try and slow down or stop competitors. Only active during Death Race matches. It currently has a bunch of rocks, but could be a single large rock, or even a bunch of bogan's that it spills out in front of you :)

The refinery at the finish line where you convert your winnings for precious fuel supplies.

The Marauders (old crash racers cars) come at you head on in the final straight during Death Race matches for additional chaos and risk.

The idea is for more than just points as you'll be balancing your fuel supplies with the fuel economy of vehicles you've chosen plus each vehcile has only a set number of hull points before they beomce too damaged to race. This is going to be a major change to any other diecast racing we've seen and is the type of track we wanted to build since first getting into diecast racing back at the start of 2020. Hopefully everyone enjoys it as much as we do. 

Happy to answer any quesitons you might have about the track.

I will be expecting EXPLOSIONS when a car runs out of Hull Points  

Phrasing? There's no phrasing in the Wastelands. Frank will need a Warlord name, but one that's appropriately silly  

Pure brutality in every aspect here, let's freaking GO! 


  • Frank the Tank? — SpyDude
  • And fire, lots of fire. Maybe Frank can change is name to Toe Stubber or The Day Rider — Chaos_Canyon
  • Frank the TANK…Frank the TANK!!! — Crazy_Canuck
  • OMG "TOE STUBBER"!!! End it, we have a winner — Chris_Hood
  • Okay, so we have Frank "The Toe Stubber" Gibbs and .... what name are we going for with Thom "Spanners" Watson? — SpyDude

Amazing!

I am so ready for this! This is epic and I want in ASAP!  One heck of a masterpiece here!


  • Thank you. We will run our own teams first to let everyone get used to the new format of racing etc before we open up for mail in entries — Chaos_Canyon

The carnage will be epic...


This is meant for builders & racers. Fast cars are cool, but can you survive this?!? Decide your fate and choose your wheeled weapon carefully!

This is fantastic, and I can't wait to watch the show unfold! Great work, great plan, and the action will be undeniable! 


  • Vehicle selection will be vital in this series because you have to balance more than just speed and handling for your team to survive — Chaos_Canyon

Can't wait to see the sign up for this!


  • We’re running our own teams first so everyone can see the format, how vehicle choice for your team works, the pros and cons of different classes etc then we will look at mail ins — Chaos_Canyon

  • Thanks! This truly is the track I wanted to build since I first got into the hobby. The seesaw bridge was in my very original canyon drawings — Chaos_Canyon
