Race ideas

Jump to first page Jump to last page

Me and Lil C were just talking about this. 3 of the four up there we are thinking of doing, especially # 4?  I'd love to do the low riders, down side is, on our track, they won't go through the banked corners. Some updates may help with that. Also, what about using only the Lionell Nacar next Gen cars? Would that be something the builders would want to do? 


I could go on and on...

@SpyDude's Food Fight I've thought of... Ran mine down my track and it was complete pandemonium.

Jaguar D-Types are good racers; it would be cool to have a tournament for that casting.

Matchbox! Some of the old ones are in my top 5! Ricks diecast racing was thinking about doing a tourney for MBX.

Haven't had many Porsche races recently.

Obscure European brands such as: Opel, Rimac, Peugeot, Renault. I guess these are just brands that aren't exported to the US! 

Funny Cars drag race! I've got a bunch that are itching to be raced! Plus, we haven't had one as far as I'm concerned in years.

How about a Neon Speeders race? Only the special Neon Speeders wheels allowed. Probably stock paint.

Spoiler Alert! Only cars with huge spoilers.

Someone stop me lol


  • Spoiler Alert... love it! — SpyDude

JDM - Nissan Skyline(X0092) 2000 GT-R

vs

Detroit - Custom Ford Maverick

The same size wheels and virtually identical specs.


  • This sounds cool.. big Maverick fan — ManiacMotorsports
  • Never really noticed that, but yes, that would be a good matchup. — SpyDude

All these ideas are great! Someone mentioned Majorette only...that'd be different! I'd like to see some love for the other brand cars. Personally I'm dying to run my old Yatmings, Zylmex, Majorette, kidco, corgi, Maisto, Johnny Lightning and any old brand cars that aren't Hot wheels or Matchbox.

A lot of those cars were faster than hot wheels back in the 80s. I have an old Yatming jeep that is a pure speed demon!


  • I'm actually surprised more people aren't using the 'off brands' like Corgi, Tomico, Yatming, and others. They made some good cars, too. — SpyDude

Wow, so many good ideas!  

Previously mentioned races I vote for are:

SpyDude

  • Stampede
  • Junkers
  • Movie Mayhem
  • Shoirt Stuff
  • Long roofs

Spirit of '64

  • Bubble Trouble

GBURacing

  • Halloween

ManiacMotorSports

  • Matchbox
  • Spolier Alert

The rest of my ideas are:

  • Concept cars: any car as long as it based on an actual concept car
  • 70's custom vans: Bonus points for awesome 70's murals on the side
  • AMC: Gremlins, Javelins, and Pacers oh my!
  • Plane Jane: Any plane themed car from Dogfighter to Fast Fortress, bombs away!
  • Mini me: Mini coopers or any other small car.
  • VW Kafer: Honestly, I just like this car

and finally see next post...

Death Race 2000! Based on campy movie from the early 70s. Any car preferably 70s with a over the top theme.  Each car and driver required to have cheesy name. 


  • DUDE. Those are full-on badass. Did you build all of those? — SpyDude
  • Thanks Spydude! Yes I built them several years ago for the gaslands game. For the Bull & Machine gun Joe's car I used a matchbox hellraiser and for the Lion I used a matchbox Vauxhall Guildman. I'm going to do another group of them that are more durable so I can send them down a track. — Sunshine_City_Garage
  • As for the race, racers would gain points for running over pedestrians, like the movie. The zombies I have in the picture could be sent to the race host I have a lot — Sunshine_City_Garage

How about a Need For Speed tournament? I've got cars that are built with speed.


  • SO like what kind of cars are we talking about? Just about anything could fall under this category. — SpyDude

The fastest car of the year agreed by majority,can only change the colour of car,no mods other than that.i did it with silverado and very similar but was on a drag strip,down an open track might be different story!!!

I'd love to see a Can-Am race...
