The diecast racing iceberg

Along with car building, you have testing. Once the car is built, it takes innumerable test runs to make sure the car is competitive. With the advent of desktop wind tunnels, aerodynamic development could become a thing.

I'm planning on hosting my first mail in race, and I have to say that I feel somewhat nervous about it... Finnish bureaucracy driven customs doesn't help either lol
- I was nervous my 1st mail in. I will say after the 1st one things get a bit easier. And a heck of a lot more fun. I get a kick out of opening each package it's like Christmas or a birthday. Then seeing how well the run down the track adds a different kind of excitement. There are some headaches that go with it. But in the end for me it's well worth it. — Comet_Tail_Raceway
- Comet_Tail/Rick....you do a great job with your events and mail cars back in a very timely manner....you're one of the A+ hosts/venues out there. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Very much appreciated Dutch — Comet_Tail_Raceway

Sometime near the start of 2024 I randomly bumped into a video from 3DBotmaker on YouTube. My reaction (as a road racing fan) was Holy WTF is this? Amazing. I began to scan for other die cast racing and was again blown away at the range of hosts and content. As I began to get involved in the various activities of getting cars and getting them ready to race it slowly dawned on me the amount of work it takes to host - manage - promote - and produce a single race.
As someone who enjoy all the details - challenges - and creativity that goes into transformaing a stock car into a race car I thank these folks for providing a place to race. And whether your car is ripping up the track or flailing away in last place - seeing your efforts on the YouTube, however brief, is a big reward.
