Hot Wheels Halloween

Diecast64 Monday, 11/9/2015

Here's a few of the fun Hot Wheels things we did for Halloween.  

We had a trunk or treat the day before Halloween at our Church.  I put a track in the car from the dashboard out through the trunk then through a pumpkin and into a box. I brought a bunch of cars for the kids to race and gave the winner two pieces of candy and the loser one.  It was a hit.  No video because I was too busy racing all night! :)

I set up a track outside our door on Halloween with a few cars in a box that the kids could play with before they knocked on the door to get their candy.

We also had a pretty fun race a week or so before Halloween with some of my extended family and friends.  I'd been wanting to do a race like this for a while.  Still haven't come up with a good name for it.  It was going to be a monster car race, but as you'll see shortly, it wasn't just monsters.  Anyway it was inspired by the rat fink. The idea was to get a character and put it in a car.  To make it easy I just said you could glue it to the top or whatever, but what I was going for was some sort of character popping out of the car...preferably a hot rod...that was way to big for the car...like the rat fink.

Some of them turned out pretty good.  I thought I might try a race like this here on RLD, but probably won't wait until next Halloween.  Maybe sometime after the first of the year if anyone is interested.  Anyway here are some pics of a few of the cars.  Didn't get any race footage though. :(

Aside from the Mad Max race (which was awesome by the way...just had too many projects of my own going on to enter - but be sure I'm making a track like that one!!!) did anyone else do anything Hot Wheelish for Halloween?

Love the figures in the car, great idea for a race. I have on my list to host a Lego Minifig race next year...so no one take that one!

The track in a trunk is a GREAT idea...talk about a portable track, ha!
