Redline Rundown #26

We're all building tracks! At least it seems that way. So many great tracks popping up and getting built while we're all stuck inside. From drag strips to mountain courses, the amount of miles being covered by our little diecast cars has to be in the millions. Keep sharing your builds and what you're doing to get your cars ready to race.
