Here's a snapshot of some of the cars that will be getting added to the league real soon. They're all new to me so I don't know how any of them run...anyone car to provide a little preview based on their experience?

Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

Is that my Super Blitzen I sent forever ago?

Yes it is. My stash of cars is out of control and completely unorganized. When I get new cars I just toss them on the pile. I need to do a better job at logging cars because between donations and then the ones I buy, I end up with a lot of dupes. But more dupes means more prizes!

Is that a Honda CRX in the background? The police car must be a reissue...should be quick.

Yeah, the CRX is a Hot Ones line and the Patrol car is a Custom Flyer line. Figure it's time to start go beyond mainline cars to keep things a little more interesting. They might be few and far between but I'm looking forward to seeing them race.

Looks like the porsche boxster spyder conv. I sent in with others, I have no idea how it does as I have not run any of mine yet, will try doing that later today and see how it does, I don't think I ran any of the others I sent yet either, I'll go ahead and run those too and should have an idea how they do when you add them in. Have a great weekend Brian !!!

Nice bunch! I love that PC, but in speed I might have to bet on the Cadillac FTE. I have one that's not bad.
Can I try sending in a new JL or two sometime? It would be interesting to see a few newer Matchboxes, too--how other brands would stack up against the Hot Wheels. Maybe that's against the rules.

Right now the Fantasy Leauge will remain Hot Wheels as that's the only brand I really collect. However, down the road if someone has a massive collection of Matchbox or JLs that they want to do home races with, the concept of another league just for them is a possibility.

I think it would be cool to have a Matchbox or JL league that is hundreds of cars like the RLD Hot Wheels one and then after they do some racing, do a Brand-vs-Brand super tournament.

That'd be cool. If I had time, I could volunteer for something like that--I have hundreds of each.

Yeah, the Flying Customs police car looks speedy. Non of the others really jump out at me, but the CRX and the beetle are the only ones of those I have. Might be cool to run some Hot Ones from the 80s--they brought back the speed of the redlines. Straight axles are a must, however.
Heck, maybe I could run a redline and 70s/80s tournament. Don't have that many, but probably enough for a bracket...
