- Which Team? White Knuckle Motoring Speed-shop, 905 Diecast Racing, Or The EH-Team? — PortilloRacing
Just to clarify about wheels... you looking for knobbys or slicks? Or doesn't matter...I believe most of your requested castings come with knobby wheels, but the 2015 f150 come with slicks if I'm not mistaken
- Doesn't Matter... As Long as The Truck Fits on The Starting Gate I use... — PortilloRacing
- And This is The Start Gate I Use… https://www.ubuy.gp/en/product/4LZ2KLPAW-replacement-parts-for-hot-wheels-playset-fth77-track-builder-system-race-crate-die-cast-car-track-replacement-panel-ee — PortilloRacing
- Right on — Crazy_Canuck
Showdown Date Has Been Pushed Back A Little For More Drivers To Come Sign Up... 60 Spots Remain... Be Quick...
I'll send 1 in #17
- I have the Ford F 150 lighting casting. Can I use it? Or it has to be the 15 Ford F -150 casting? — PuffsRacing
- The ‘15 Ford F-150 — PortilloRacing
Finally, a race near me!
I've got a 2015 Ford F150 I'll send. It has the knobby tires too.
#54 Bumpin' Billy sponsored by Billy's Midway Arcade in Hawthorne, NJ.
I'll include some of my extra Matchbox cars you can give as prizes or keep if you want.

Shops full but finding time to squeeze this one in I short notice should be shipping out next week
New Rule: 7 mm = 7 millimeter Knobby Tires Will Be Too Wide For The Start Gate...
Only Knobby Tires No Wider Than 6 mm...
- Well......Mine has already been sent....couldn't tell ya what size the tires are. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Wheel size will not matter, axle size will. How wide is too wide? — Uncle_Elvis
- I Asked Mark From GTR About It… And He Said Knobby Wheels That Are About 7 mm Wide Are Too Wide For The Starting Gate… The Narrow Knobby Tires & The Slick Tires Will Work On The Starting Gate & Orange Track… — PortilloRacing
- But The Knobby Tires On The ‘15 Ford F-150 Fits Perfectly On The Starting Gate — PortilloRacing
- How about the knobbies on the Dodge Ram Rebel? — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- They’ll Most Likely Work… — PortilloRacing
I'll send a modified Dodge Ram Rebel #3.
64 entries might be a little large for one of your first races.....and the deadline is a little short for that many to get them in. But.....We all believe you have to start somewhere. I'll send one in. Remember to abide by your posted information, or modify as needed, and run this event. After the event...posting results and mailing cars back is a large part of being a host.
