DIECAST "DOWN & BACK" DRAG RACE

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Race day came a little early!

[@AssistantToTheRegionalManager]

You should have 'rounded' off the corners a bit and angled it. That would stop the accidents. With all of the cars leaving the tracks it takes away from the enjoyment of the video.

[@GHOSTJERKER]

I tested several corners and banked turns, these worked the best for this style of racing. Cars that wreck are entering the turn to fast. Some cars go through perfectly.

[@AssistantToTheRegionalManager]

@@GHOSTJERKER In other words the fastest car did not win the races. I'm sure you could have found a banked turn that would have worked better, meaning no one flying off the track. No excuse.

[@Rollormotor]

@@AssistantToTheRegionalManager fastest car(train) did win. you have to stay on the track. that is how real racing is. down and back, 1400 HP does not guarantee the win. when you make the track you make the rules. awesome racing

Hi ghostjerker

[@Ssniperkun]

I remember watching u guys as a kid,now im almost an adult,time flies

[@RandomU53]

Your so right man bro

[@Clutch_Agent13]

Fr tho it’s been about a year since I’ve last watched one of their videos

[@HoundDog11111]

[@lxrdanubis9999]

Lmfao 💀 💯

[@kaiden_aka_forevrr]

i've watched your videos on and off for, god, 6 years? safe to say this channel was a part of my childhood :D im so glad that the style hasnt changed much at all, even the newest vids feel nostalgic!

[@Ghxstdrift]

I remember watching you like 10 years ago, and it's insane how far you've come. Keep going, bro 🙏🔥

[@hw_driver5988]

Ive been watching your vids for over 7 years. You guys made me play with my hot wheels in a more creative way. I can't thank you enough.

[@abhinavsaha8158]

Massive congrats to the West Coast flyers drivers. That was a stellar race 🔥🔥👍 I was unanticipated on the west coast flyer though🔥🔥

[@Johnny-o9g]

Thank you gentlemen. Awesome racing! Congratulations to the winners. The West Coast Flyer is a killer on the curves.

[@GSXinTX]

I think the safety netting on the right side touches the cars as they head into the turn. I like the track though!

[@redsunphoenix2456]

6:07 Best reference ever

[@ericroush663]

The rounded corners on the front end of some cars seems to help them take the hairpin better.

[@rosaiyan6474]

Get a gf❌ get rich❌ watch grown men play with hot wheels tracks you would’ve killed for as a kid✅ Edit: I love your videos bro, the first one I ever watched was the slot car drag racing video you made a few years back (can’t remember how long ago) but I grew up watching this guy, I’m 18 now and I’ve been watching him forvever

[@robertrothschild3362]

That West Coast Flyer is a King! Although on my straight track it lost to a Chrysler 300c Hemi!

[@navishelly]

These guys were my childhood bro

[@PhantomWolf4130]

I’m glad you still upload, Im looking forward to the haunted hole in hole this year!

[@nathanwebb6124]

The channel is very close to hitting 800,000 subscribers. Keep it up guys.

[@ReggiesWorld13]

Hey ghost, been watching you for years on and off, you being the biggest nostalgia of my childhood, I am only 21 but I played with this track and my 100s of cars everyday, cool seeing you and your sons still going, thanks for bringing back the memories

[@rosaiyan6474]

REALLL, been watching this guy since the slot car drag racing video, man we would’ve killed for these tracks as a kid, I’m 18 now and bros been apart of my life since I was young

[@knollwoodthehotrod2009]

I like how these tracks are different every race. It makes a track more challenging than the last. What is the next racetrack design gonna look like?

[@GHOSTJERKER]

I have no idea lol.

[@officialj-rem4756]

@@GHOSTJERKERa return of king of the road would be fire 🔥🔥that was a great setup

[@thekibitzer9336]

Great racing as usual! I have a suggestion, how about a KOTH but with underdogs? No Hot Wheels but instead with MBX, JL, Maisto, Fast 111's, etc.

[@EdsterIII]

This was a cool set-up. Turns always make the races a bigger challenge. It's not always flat out speed. Turns add a different dynamic to it that makes it more interesting to watch. Cars that might dominate the straight-up ¼-mile gravity drop race might not make the turn or may slow in the turn or ?? That's what makes it so cool to see. Hot Wheels races are never predictable anyway, this makes it even harder to guess. Once again guys you nailed it! Thanks again for all you do. Take care and God Bless.✝️

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Thank you! Well said!

[@EdsterIII]

Your very welcome. It's why I enjoy your channel. Yes you have the standard gravity drop races, but you also include other types of tracks. Basically it makes picking a winner 🏆 almost impossible....lol, but that's the fun inracing. The unpredictability. And you've come up with some absolutely amazing ideas. The cake mix/dirt race was probably my all-time favorite. As was the old Nascar KOTH. Thanks again and as always GREAT VIDEO!

[@resetadvantagehauling]

Go Crazy Jimmy. Go 2D and 3D. Go Ghost Jerker

[@EdsterIII]

I really appreciate that you give shout outs to other Die-Cast car creators. 3dBotmaker has been another great example of a excellent Die-Cast racing experience. Crazy Jimmy was, no IS a legend. I've mentioned this before, but when my health first started to become worse, and my hospitalizations🏥 became more and more frequent, as I've said, 👻Ghostjerker👻 you were one of my first You Tube finds. Then Faster the Dragster(I really miss his Monster Truck races.), then Sub4ra, 3dBotmaker, and Diecast RacerX were the one thing keeping my hopes up. You guys opened the doors for and opened the eyes of people including me that Die-Cast car racing was still incredibly fun and exciting! The new and inventive ways you used the Monster Jam Monster Trucks blew my mind. MTFL was epic! But when you had a Monster Truck "slam dunk" a 🏀Basketball🏀, I was instantly hooked and well impressed wasn't even close to the way I felt. Amazed is a better way to describe it. Then Faster the Dragster and his daughter did Monster Truck Wrestling. Again another absolutely fantastic idea. Not only oddly competitive, but extremely entertaining. Heck they even had Tag-Team matches, with Titles! I can't get out much anymore to look for Hot Wheels. Once in a great while I'll find something at Walgreens when I pick up my prescriptions/medications. I was bitter, and bummed out that not only was my health getting worse but I couldn't do my one true hobby I really enjoyed. Die-Cast collecting and racing. My idea of doing customs went out the window as well. However in bitterness and anger, it only brings more misery. I've learned quite a lot about myself and life. I've realized that while I am slowly losing my battle with my health, I am still able to walk, albeit slower, less frequently, and far less distances, there are a lot of people who can't walk. Are confined to their beds, or a wheelchair, or have lost a foot, a leg, or both. God doesn't give us anything we cannot handle. My bitterness blurred my vision. The fact of the matter is this. I am not going hungry, I am not cold, I have a bed, a shower, and a kitchen to make food, and I have a roommate/friend who has helped me get through this. I was a bit ashamed for my selfishness. There are children who live in poverty, no food, no clean water, and some have lost one or both parents, and I was bitter over my situation? Sorry for the long comment, but Ghost/Chris, your channel really helped me. I lost both or my parents. My Dad to Lung cancer, and my Mom to Emphysema. Ironically enough that's the same illness I was diagnosed with. I cared for them both for years and it was a very special time. I never had kids or got married. I had always thought that I had time. We are all part of God's plan. We may not understand it, and we may sometimes really don't understand it or even want it, but again God never gives us anything that we can't handle. Instead of being bitter, angry, even sad, and sometimes feeling sorry for myself, I've instead chose to drop the pity, the bitterness, and the frustration. Now there are times when sadness can still overwhelm me, but I chose to not let it define me. I look around at what i DO HAVE. While it's not perfect, it's still better than some other people have to endure, and your channel, all of the above mentioned channels played a big part in helping me. Life isn't easy. It never was easy and it won't ever become easy, however there is someone who can and will help. All you need to do is ask and He will be there. In watching your early videos you mentioned your faith.🙏 Your family is strong and so is your faith. That was another great part of what and how your video's helped me through that difficult time. Thank you for sharing these races, you and your kids have been a really big help to me. I can't begin to express how sincerely grateful I am for you and your family, as well as then other great channels. In a time full of disappointment and sadness you brought lite to me. Thank you again. Take care and God Bless you all. Be safe, stay strong, and Let's go Racin` boys.

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Wow thank you so much for the kind words! All of the channels you mentioned have been such a inspiration and a place of escape for me and so many. I love all of those guys and pray for there success. I miss Faster, Sub4ra and DCRX as well. 3D has taken the game to levels that keep all of us entertained. This may be a small community but God has done big things in it... I know you are struggling with some issues right now but your faith is inspiring to me and others! I give all glory to God for anything I have done and will do in this life! I owe everything to Him! I pray that your situation improves and that God gives you the strength to endure in the name of Jesus! We all have a purpose and You are a blessing to all of us who hope we are making a difference in this world. Take care my friend and God Bless!

Awesome racing and thanks for sharing

[@Plantagenaut]

That rail-car simply was in a different class! Low, streamlined, and heavy. I'd like to see a few more tests with it along with some select power-winners from your other series. It may be THE BEST in any category, in which case we could get some other runs with it...can it do loops? Outdoor trails? Jumps? I was impressed! Thanks, Chris!

[@Sanctified_Leather]

No doubt “ON Rails”!!! This one was truly fun Chris and Sons. I really enjoyed this one hanging out in the backyard with a view of the water 💦 and seeing HW’s flying through the HairPin turns !!!! Thank you guys so so much for countless years of pure simple fun !!!! 👍🙏🎉

[@YeetsByJey]

Too bad my civic lost 1st round but at least crossed the finish line. West Coast Flyer is a beast!

[@stevesurfaro]

Absolutely awesome! I had added the West Coast Flyer to my racing group for the metal base, big wheels, big weight. Redo the race with the curves elevated on an incline so the lighter cars will make the curve and get more speed.

[@jasonstrong8908]

Thats music is so awesome!!! Cant wait to.watch!!!

So happy seeing a fantasy casting win the day! Hope to see that happen more often.

[@briankeller7130]

RACE IDEA: How about doing a DIECAST BRAND TOURNAMENT: what I mean take all of the die-cast cars makers Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, Winner's Circle (NASCAR), Racing Champions (NASCAR), etc. etc. Have each brand compete against themselves to determine best car of brand winner until each brand had its own representative. Then race the brand representatives against each other to determine who is The Ultimate Best of die-cast racing. I would suggest using the Bracket Format for this if you do this idea. YOU DECIDE THE TRACK AND RACE SETUP Brian Keller from Ocala Florida

Great idea!

[@DocCason9793]

Did you happen to notice that every single car (90%) in that R lane hit the mesh going around the turn, slowing it slightly?

[@keithsmith9175]

Great racing guys!!! Love the track set!!! I love the other other down snd and back track videos you have done as well!

I can only imagine all the drivers in the train were like "FEED IT ALOT OF COAL!" since it's like a steam train and they all got to work on filling it with coal and bringing it's steam pressure to the MAX.

Yes, the end of the 6 lane has the connectors for extra track pieces. Have fun!👻

[@alfredtrejos5400]

Why You guys don't make videos often

[@EdsterIII]

People sometimes forget that these creator's have jobs, lives, families. These videos take time. First off it can also become pretty expensive. Say you do a 144 car race. That's $150.⁰⁰ to $200.⁰⁰ per race. Cars aren't $0.89 cents now. Plus finding them. Here in my town stores are emptied every 🌄morning🌅. Then you have to travel to other stores, cities, towns, whatever. Next doing the race itself, that's probably the easiest part, but the editing of the video afterwards is time consuming and can be very boring. Add it up and these videos take time, money, more time, and more time. Not all wives are going to be thrilled with their husbands racing Hot Wheels cars 2-4 times a week. Trust me I love their videos too but they cost time and money. Mainly time, but it's not always easy.
