Hot Wheels Racing & Cibubur HW Competition

There is a saying "Toys are meant to be played". For me I kinda feel guilty, keeping those cars in their blister and not played them as they are destined to be. Remember my old post about having my own race track inside the house? (Hot Wheels Track 2-Lane-V-Drop) from there I started to collect cars that are known for its speed and stability. Meet my racing team: Team Babaw HW Racing !!

Well no Gov'nor or Noddlist or other high class race cars, just a regular mainline race cars (for starters). I really like the Cadillac V16 Concept, it runs pretty good. And also the yellow Chevy Tahoe.. very good in downhill racing.

Last weekend me and my little brother decided to participate in a small Hot Wheels competition which was held by Hypermart (a local supermarket chain-store and one of the biggest HW retailer) located in Cibubur Junction Mall

Kids trying the track before the competition

It was a straight downhill followed by a loop. For this racetrack decided to enroll 2 of my cars; 2012 Eagle Massa and 2011 '69 Chevelle (X-Raycers)

Babaw Racers !!

Tested both before the race, not the best car for the race but I'll give it a shot. I think Spector will do better in the loop but mine got a bad front axle, so these two will do. The Green Eagle Massa got no 1 registered under my sons name and the Chevelle got no.2. As I predicted this ain't going to be just a walk in the park, some serious racers also attend this race.. I saw several DC Comic Universe's Two Face, Spector and even white Gov'nor

The participants

Its race time, 24 cars and my no.1 Eagle Massa step up to the track, forgot the opposition but the first run was a disappointment. It fell off the track just after the loop, 2nd run change track.. The Massa really smoked the opposition. Then it came to the 3rd run, a coin toss has to be done to chose which track to use, I won the coin toss.. easy decision.. stick with the winning track.. 2-1 my son's Eagle Massa qualified for the 2nd round

Then no.2 called to the track, 69 Chevelle.. again forgot who was the opposition.. a regular mainline car.. easy race.. a 2-0 win

The Race

Then came the 2nd Round.. 12 cars; 4 Two Face, 3 Nerve Hammer, 1 Rennen Rig, 1 Red Bird, 1 Spector, 1 Custom '69 Chevy and our cars. Unlucky both drawn to face the race favorite.. Two Face.. both got smoked good.. 0-2 loss for both..

We didn't stick to the final race, due to my son is very sleepy. So after we loose we left the race. But I have a very good feeling that Two Face will win this one.. very fast on the downhill and stable on the loop.

Definitely gonna look for a Two Face to strength my team, we lost but we definitely had a great time and meeting new friends on the way... I guess this is what its all about.. HAVING FUN
