2,000ft Hot Wheels Track

[chaser]

I saw this on the news today. Its in Richardson, Tx. My Hot Wheels tracks were never this cool 

Great job they did on this though!

Too much free time...  But pretty cool though!

   Wow, I agree too much free time

[F22RaptorDude]

  Whoa

[mbailey]

That was awesome

Now get one of those new hotwheels cars with the onboard camera and run it through the track.

[PFactorDave]

I wonder how many times they had to run the car through it to get  that many camera shots.  Or, did the entire track even exist?  Could have set up just enough track for each camera shot, filmed, then reused the same bit of track to setup the next shot.

I choose to believe that it was all one continuous track, and that the person that did this has multiple cameras and is probably either deeply weird, or one of the more awesome people on the planet.  The truth probably lies somewhere in between the two.

Pretty cool video, regardless of whether my hope is right, or Dave's is correct.

I will never ever be as cool as these guys...

That was kind of my guess.

Looks like multiple takes to me.

Description :

"This, friends, is some fun: a 2,000-foot-long Hot Wheels track that goes up and down multiple stories, through 14 rooms of a house, outdoors and back in again, and even over a hot tub. You know, just like NASCAR used to do it. (For perspective's sake, if we use the typical 1/64 ratio of Hot Wheels cars, this is the equivalent of a 24-mile-long race track.)

This is a charitable effort designed to raise money for "Hope for Gabe," a charitable foundation to help fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. More details at this link and in the video itself.

Great track, great cause, great video. Sure hope those kids clean up that mess they've made."

hahahaha   I have to have a laugh at the comments of too much free time on there hands .....obviously don't play  AH and/or visit the boards......I know that would free up plenty of my time   


Oh yeah...and that was pretty cool..

Or they could've used multiple cameras. I bet it took more than just 1 guy to do it, so his buddies and family probably helped him filmed it.

Still a great video. Reminds me of launching toy cars off of books and tables.
