I got about nine links of DID520 ERV2 that I can twist all different ways which helps and I also have a gripmaster I use as well.

1. I love Hotwheels and there are at least a hundred in my living room as i write this
2. This is a really cool set up
3. This guy is a great dad


But now i will take a page from Capt bummer. There is no way that is one set up. Yeah you could buy all of that track but how many video cameras would he need for all of those shots? He did this section by section and videoed each before disassembling and setting it up again in a new spot.

There you have it.

Totally agree....there is no way that that is all one continuous run. And this guy has to be an unemployed Engineer, just my random thought.....

Agree with quazz and RedSox.

I was thinking the same thing when I first watched it. There's a lot of $$ tied up in that video, and it probably took a week to edit all the footage to make it look fluid. But if it's effective to garner interest in a worthy cause, so be it.

Aaaand.... it was soooooo COOOOOL!

A few frames after the hot tub jump if you freeze it you can see that he didn't put enough of the track together to make it off the screen. I wonder if it is a legit charity as well. It must have been fun to still put each section together to make the entire movie. And yes I had dumbass brothers that loved to whip you with track sections when you weren't looking.

Yeah those tracks really f'ing hurt. I think they use a harder plastic now, they seem stiffer and less whippy.

My boys have a few of those motors. Those things EAT D cell batteries like its nothing. Pretty cool.

We love putting the track together and then seeing which one of their cars is the fastest. It always is one of the heavier ones. I think the reigning champ is a Ford F150....
