Home to 1:64 die cast racing in several formats from downhill drag racing or mayhem on the fat track to long endurance runs. Many fan favorites put to the test. Our straight to the event style means quick racing action with no blah, blah, blah or fillers, so DON'T BLINK or you may miss something! Stay tuned.
Oh yeah this is gonna rock!! After seeing the Qualifying runs, I was really looking forward to the actual race!! As said in the SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT, " KEEP THOSE BEAVERS GRINNIN` AND THOSE WHEELS A SPINNIN`!" Or something like that.
I really like the qualifying process you set up. That's a great way to set up the races, just like they do in actual Nascar events. This is really an epic set up! I really like the longer track. A lot more can happen in it. One question though. Have you tried racing the Nascar Die-Cast cars with the Rubber Tires? When I raced them on my Sizzlers track they didn't slide as much as the plastic wheels. They "stuck" a little bit more it seemed. Any chance you'll do a Rubber Tire race? A lot of my rubber tire cars kept pace with the plastic wheel cars. Just curious.
1,000 thumbs-up!👍👍👍👍👍 You absolutely got a subscriber here! You had me at the track, but then the awesome Nascar Die-Cast that Hot Wheels made? I absolutely loved those. We have a "Retro" Toy Store that sometimes has these and the other ones that came with the rolling tool boxes, but they sell for between $10.⁰⁰ to $15.⁰⁰ the regular Nascar Die-Cast cars. $20.⁰⁰ if it's a more sought after car and driver. The 2pk sets with the cars and tool boxes run between $15.⁰⁰ and $25.⁰⁰. Again more if it's a car/driver that's more popular. I was lucky to nab a few beat-up cards off of eBay for a cheap price. All in all I have maybe 60-70 Nascar Die-Cast cars. I REALLY REALLY wish someone would go back and make the cars from the past. Like the 60's, 70's, and 80's! I had hoped to do my own channel a few years back. Oddly enough Nascar was my first choice for my races. I had a Hot Wheels Super 6-lane Raceway, and I picked up a old sizzlers track off eBay. Sadly it was more beat up than decent. I wanted to do either 8 cars, 2 wide, 5 deep, or 9 cars, 3 wide & 3 deep. Then do multiple laps, usually between 5 and 10. Sadly it didn't work out. I was hospitalized with pneumonia multiple times which led to a diagnosis of emphysema, then on top of that during another bout of pneumonia I was actually discharged from the Emergency Room and as I walked out I collapsed in the entryway. I had a heart attack. I woke up thankfully back in the ER, a defibrillator next to me and ,y chest feeling like I was kicked by a mule. I was then told I also have heart disease. All of this was right before the world went into panic mode. The pandemic hit during my pneumonia issues. So I was at serious risk. I couldn't go hunting, and on top of that, I also learned that from my years of crashing on 🚲🚲bikes🚲🚲, 🛹🛹skateboarding🛹🛹, a🏍motorcycle🏍🏍accident🏍, and years of 🏉football🏈 and ⚾️Baseball⚾️ my right knee and right hip were in bad shape. I actually was bone on bone, my hip was gone. I had hip replacement surgery to add to it all. Walking was hard enough, now I needed rehabilitation to get my strength back. My point is during the earlier bouts of pneumonia when I was stuck in respiratory Intensive care, I had nothing really to do, and I was bored. I learned the Hospital had WiFi and I grabbed my phone, got on You Tube and started watching videos. I also collect Marvel Legends, DC, and Star Wars figures so I got into a few action figure reviews. But then I found this other channel. A Die-Cast racing channel. PLUS they also raced Monster Jam Monster Trucks. I had loved and raced Hot Wheels since I was a little kid. I even had AFX & TYCO slot car racing as well. But these races, gravity drop, 1:64 scale ¼ mile straight-a-way. Basically a drag race🏁. I was thrown back to my childhood. I watched race after race. I found more and more channels dedicated to Die-Cast cars and Die-Cast car 🏎 🏁🏎🏎🏎 racing AND Monster Trucks as well I even found a channel that not only did the 1:64 scale Monster Jams but the larger scale Trucks as well. I still preferred the 1:64 scale but if it's Die-Cast racing I'll check out & support all scales. This is when I decided that I wanted to really get back into Die-Cast cars again and create my own channel. This was earlier on before my illness really took a turn. After the heart attack and the fact that the pneumonia had did a lot of damage to my 🫁lungs🫁, my "dream" was over. I even had issues with getting around the stores. Another issue came when people learned that buying Die-Cast cars was cheap, and you could turn around and sell them for a heck of a lot more money. People started clearing shelves, hoarding cases, paying employees to hold cases and/or certain items. I have a buddy who does maintenance for Wal-Mart and he sees it happening. Every once in a while he'll grab me a decent Auto World car truck. Sometimes a Matchbox. So if and when I got to a store for quite a while everytime that I'd check the Toy aisles, the Die-Cast cars were wiped, and the action figures were wiped as well. At that point I gave up. I still grab a decent car or cars if I happen to be there before they get ransacked by scalpers. I miss the hunt, especially now with how many amazing cars are coming out! The 1984 Buick Regal Grand National from Fast and Furious was always empty, but they are re-releasing it, so HOPEFULLY??!?? LOL. I want to thank all of the Die-Cast car channels for all of their HARD WORK and DEDICATION. You all helped me through some of the hardest times I have ever had, next to the passing of my parents. These channels helped cheer me up, gave me so much fun, and they made it so I really wanted to not only get home, but kick *ss as well!! Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more of your 🏁 🏎 races. Keep them wheels spinning! God Bless and take care.😊
The Ken Wells car isnt tight on the track. His problem is he's too light. He'd never make it as far as he did on the NDURO if he was rubbing sidewalls. THANKS for watching!
That Lane Automotive is one tough automobile; I reckon I'll have to look for one. I'd like to see how it does in a 4-car race swapping paint, because it seems to be steady like Fat Ass Freddie.
We don't keep a record or have a case of cars based on times like a lot of channels. Too many different tracks for that. That being said, we have seen the 2 second mark beat several times. At first we had sensors set 20' 6" and just recently added that all important 1/4 inch making it 20' 6 1/4". Doing so caused King Kenny to run north of the 2 second mark. So really not sure. I noticed John Force in your case. What's he running? My Force is quick but not like Bernstein.
@DON'T BLINK 1:64 RACING my John Force is case ranked and I will run a time on em when I get back to the house.....I know he's not Sub 2.10 else he'd be in the TopTeir...
Ken straight out the box ain't that fast. He's just a little hefty & has a snug fit on the track with a tiny bit of wiggle room. The only way to speed him up is with some graphite. Still a good car, just a little wide.
PrimeStar almost flawless in qualifying, surprised to see Kyle DNF CUZ he Flys down the 1/4 mile....same with QVC....Ernie Ervin a real smooth roller...
Yeah, that first curve was a doozy for the heavier cars. That's why I love multiple track types. Weight and its distribution are critical on the OPEN Track. We LOVE the open track here at DON'T BLINK.
