Loved it! Thanks for posting!

Great commentary and sound effects (I slobber too much making them myself). Had to watch a  bit  to grasp the part played by gravity.

Did you watch others? They think Porsches flip less because they have a lower centre of gravity.

Actually I'm going down the rabbit hole at their site. I have never owned a die cast vehicle (except for a bunch of fire trucks) and had no  idea that they could be used in this way. I messed around with slot-cars in the mid-sixties so when I saw the first vid I though they had electric motors! :-[

Much, much safer gravity racing than cheese rolling of log riding!

Their forum has much interesting diorama information pluse files for laser printing track sections.
Thanks again for putting me (us) on to this.  :-bd :-bd

Matchbox and Hot Wheels have made tracks back at least in the mid 70s. This is what happens when you then add men to the internet and ways to custom make stuff.

Have you noticed it's always men taking kids toys too far?  ;D ;D

Same here. At first I thought they were motored but without slots, like TCR. After the third run I'd worked out it was un-motored, no steering, just gravity.

Interesting.

You can see the drop they go through when the camera shows the height of the cliff.  Its interesting how little slope they need to keep going. - and too steep they would go to fast to stay on in the corners.

I'm thinking of buying Gaslands - Sunjester, you up for a bit of Mad Max?

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
