I just... I'm GUSHING over the DESIGNS and DETAIL on these diecast vehicles; amazing! And absolute INSANITY by Mr. Darq, the 'old hand' racing to VICTORY in races two and three; this is the freaking BEST--but then, holy crap!!! IRON BEARD!!!! IRON BEARD KILLS IT in race four!

[@theskyway]

Aren't these cars so beautiful! These builders truly outdid themselves, and the races look great! Iron Beard and Darq really put on a show, really fought for those wins in a storm of twisted metal. Thanks so much for watching!

[@PCFixer]

@@theskyway The cars, beautiful? Are they EVER! What do these guys DO?! Sit for hours with tiny, tiny brushes and magnifier stations? Use some sort of stencilling?! To buy an, I guess, 'ordinary' diecast of any colour and then customize it with a repaint, the detailing... the dedication to sit and do that is just amazing and the results are so incredible--and they look epic on camera!

[@AnointedFlow]

That downdrift by Mr. Darq was masterful.

[@theskyway]

Truly! Such a flex! Thanks so much for watching!

[@Chris_Hood]

100 views/hour for this video!!! What a thrilling benchmark for a channel making its presence fully known in the hobby! Yet again this is the level of exciting competition we have all come to expect at Thunder Run, and still every time we visit the action blasts us in the face metaphorically with the same dynamism as when we first set foot at Tune City! A most excellent pairing of announcers in The Skyway booth, two disparate styles merging effortlessly into a seamless hybridization of broadcast finesse! Splendid job, living up to every whispered rumour that reached my ears prior! 💯😎🏁

[@theskyway]

Thanks Chris! Feeling really grateful for this level of viewership. I've seen my favorite channels engage their viewers in this way, and I'm just wanting to keep the quality up! And thanks for the kind words about the collaboration! Its so much fun working with our little figures together. And then when I hear his voice on my channel its so exciting cuz im such a fan as well!

[@cadcar7309]

This collaboration looks like it's going to be one for the ages! Great first group! I look forward, as always, to the next groups!

[@theskyway]

Thanks so much! This is going to be one good looking tournament thats for sure. Great builds still to come. Thanks for watching! More to come!

James Iron Beard and Mr. Darq both have beautiful cars. Oh, and they can drive too.

[@theskyway]

Oh they can drive for sure! Thanks so much Jorge! Thanks for watching

[@LiveYoungDieCast]

Quite intense! Shaping up to be as epic as advertised right outta the gate. 🤘🏼😎

[@theskyway]

Thanks Baines! Yea everyone brought the A-game, and theres some serious speed and mayhem pushing this track to its limits for sure. Thanks for watching! Looking forward to welcoming back the Lone Star! PS I went back last night and watched your Euro cup series. Its just so pure and well done. Its my fav go-to tournaments to watch. Great job!

[@LiveYoungDieCast]

@@theskyway No doubt! And the DEC was a blast to do, can’t wait to bring it back.

[@rvarnell9165]

[@theskyway]

Thanks so much for watching! Yea he's good... he's really good!

Absolut brilliance.

[@RaSung0d]

They made Mr. Darq use those darqarts to stay in it!

[@theskyway]

heheh Mr. Darq was caught drawing a pentagram under each of the cars in the garage. He said he was "blessing" them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why would you massacre a perfect 68’ Mercury Cougar with horrid Naruto livery?

[@theskyway]

Haha It certainly was a clash of styles, and that was totally encouraged for this tournament! It was nice to see a Cougar with some character. Thanks so much for watching!

*Sooo cool to see collaborators together*

[@theskyway]

So fun! And really brings the community together. Thanks so much for watching!

[@TinyTrackCars]

I’m over here jumping for joy! The start of another EPIC tournament at the skyway… and of course you SLAYED it. Spectacular job my friend. I’m over here just thinking about how difficult it is to do “co-voice overs” for something like this. Not detail was skimped on here. 11/10 would highly recommend

[@Chris_Hood]

You just know that arranging and editing those bits of commentary to come off so naturally had to be 5 or 10 times the work of one host announcing solo! Top shelf quality!

[@theskyway]

Thanks so much Nick! Thanks for the fantastic comment. Feeling really good about this tournament. The competition is steep, the builds are beautiful. Loving this! Thanks for taking part!

[@theskyway]

a few extra steps, but the effect is so satisfying!

[@rc.attucks]

Two of the best on the collab... total entertainment!

[@theskyway]

Ah thanks so much RC! Thanks for the kind words. Glad you're enjoying. Should be a stellar tournament! honored to be working with EP

[@smoky68]

This race is gonna be hot

[@theskyway]

Oh yes it is!

[@victordompietrini]

Awesome collab ! This was a chaotic round for mr darq, but I’m glad he made two incredible races and finally won. Also bravo to iron beard, he has the spirit and driving of a winner !

[@theskyway]

Thanks so much Victor! Thanks for the comment. Yea great racing today. A lot of mayhem, but Mr. Darq seized the right moments all the way to a victory. James Iron Beard, the Champion, back again and thriving! Thanks for watching

[@numbskulldiecastracing]

Hawt Damn. 😍🤩😎🍸 Hurry up.

[@theskyway]

Yes sir!

[@mcrpan13]

Darq and Iron Beard's cars were flying. They will both be tough to beat. That Thunder Run jump is 🔥

[@theskyway]

Yea super super fast builds for sure! And that jump seems to agree with muscle cars which is great news! Thanks for watching!

[@theskyway]

Thanks so much Kit! We are having so much fun. And when I see his little figure on my channel, and hear his voice its so exciting cuz im such a fan too! Thanks for watching!

[@grayboysracediecast]

I was hoping with keeping in between the weight category on this track, going with the winner of Sonny's Thunder Run races I went with 50g...but I didnt consider the restarts he took with that first piece 😅

[@grayboysracediecast]

Or the fact that the car was going to EP videos was not known to me before I sent it lol

[@theskyway]

Such a beautiful build, Kelston! Such a pleasure having you back. Was sorry to not see your Cougar advance on, but be sure to sign up for the next race. Monday at 9am PST on Redlinederby.com

[@Keithphotorama]

First thing I want to say, in race #3 the red car flew off the track just after the start and same thing happened to the green car in race #4. This is a no-no in Diecast racing, so the track needs some adjustments. The second thing I wanted to say is that it’s interesting to watch Heavy vs Light weight cars to see which performs better than the other.

[@theskyway]

Thanks so much for watching! Yea this is a treacherous track, and that danger is definitely a main character in these races. Thanks so much again, and hope you enjoy the rest of the tournament.

[@larroreid249]

Racers, awesome racing, Almost Sneaky Bob...and Skyway 🏁

[@theskyway]

Thanks so much for watching! So glad you liked it! So close, Sneaky Bob! Loved that build tho. Great steady right. Stay tuned for the rest of Round One!

Man your build was beautiful! Great job! And thanks for kicking this thing off in style. Always a pleasure to host you and Chandler!

[@gdmracing1]

Breath takingly AWESOME racing and exhilarating action and commentary. Off da freakin hook and over the top production. Gratz to Mr. Darq and James Ironbeard. WTG! I had my doubts about muscle on a rally track but mostly went well for the drivers until. WTF moments happened and cars went a flying off the twister, and I believe 1 car took a dive before the twister. CRICKEY! Sonny the emotion you exude during the races electrifies your commentary taking the entire race and fans to a whole other world of racing experience. Super fantastic MEGA level awesomeness! And being a collab with Lucas from EP Videos is like pouring gravy on the biscuits. BANGIN'! "Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo! 🤙🏽

[@theskyway]

When I re-read this comment, I focus on the All Caps letters and it tells the whole story! Thanks so much for always leaving the best and most supportive comments. Working with EP is such a Privilege! Grateful to be associated with his work!.

Round 3, What is up with that corner? The cars seem to be center track and BAM, just pop up and roll over.

[@theskyway]

Its a tough turn because its taking a lot of speed, And there is an alignment with grooves that is a delicate balance.

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

@@theskyway Thanks for the reply. I had the same issue. I fixed it. First I secured and glued the turn best I could. Then I used my Dremel tool with the scotch brite abrasive wheels, 150, 180, 300, and 420. It's a little slick but the bump is gone. Thanks again.
