Come out and join Joe Davis and all the other racers for Hot Wheels® Sizzlers® Racing - New & Old!.  The official racing schedule will be posted when confirmed...

Sizzlers® Races - New & Old!

 

            Each race will be single-elimination, but if a car comes off the track and cannot be returned within five seconds or if a car is broken and cannot be fixed immediately, you will be allowed to race in another heat. This does not apply if the car’s battery simply runs down. We will supply a charging system or you may use an unmodified Goose Pump™ re-charger only. No other charging systems will be allowed. The race will take place on an original Sizzlers® Fat Track™ layout with six to ten straight pieces between each 180 degree turn.

            All participants will be required to supply two individuals to count laps during the races. They will not count your laps but laps of other racers. Only those people who supply two people to count laps will be able to participate. No exceptions!
