Feature: ZAMAC Half-Mile



This month's feature race is the ZAMAC Half-Mile. ZAMAC is an acronym for the Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper alloy that Hot Wheels and other die-cast toy cars are made from (cast).

A ZAMAC car is basically an unpainted car. ZAMAC cars have been released for the last several years by Mattel through Walmart.

For our feature race this month, ZAMAC cars will be racing on a two lane 1/64 scale half mile track.  It will be a little over 41 feet of "Dragtracks" brand track.  It is the same type of track used on the D64 Shelf Track which hosts the Hot Wheels Pick'em game (seen in the following video) as well as other tournament races.



The ZAMAC cars need to keep their original ZAMAC look.  The only part of the car you may paint or customize is the roof.  You can paint it, put flames on it, put a number on it, what ever you want to do to make it your's, but only on the roof. 

The race format for the ZAMAC half mile will be a single elimination bracket tournament.


  • Cars must be ZAMAC Cars.
  • All added weight must be inside the car and it should keep it's original silhouette.
  • Cars must keep their original ZAMAC look. The only exception to that is the roof.   
  • Cars must be 80 grams or under.
  • Cars may be stock or modified.
  • Length: must be 3.75 inches or less
  • Height: must be 2 inches or less
  • Width: must fit on Dragtracks brand track (basically HW orange track width)
  • Dry lubes only
  • There is a $1 per car entrance fee.
  • Up to 2 cars per entrant

Feature: Gaslands

This month's feature race is inspired by the role-playing game Gaslands. (If  you don't know anything about Gaslands you should really check it out.  Another fun way to play with your Hot Wheels - https://gaslands.com/)



In Gaslands, Earth is under Martian occupation.  The war left much of Earth destroyed and its population enslaved by the corporations of Mars.  Earth is a ghetto.  All money goes to Mars.  The internet is gone, but television continues under the global control of The Network.  The jewel in The Network's crown is Gaslands: broadcasting amateur and profesional death races from across the world as teams battle for a place in the prime-time international final.

This month racers should try to make their cars look like Post-Apocalyptic death race cars.  So what does that mean?  At the very least cars need to have some kind of weapon.  It could be spikes, guns, rocket launchers, or something of the like.  The weapon is the only real requirement, however using parts from multiple cars, making them look old/dirty/rusty, banged up, etc. is encouraged.

These cars will be racing on the D64 Banger Track which was used last year for the Demolition Derby race.



For some inspiration you can check out the Gaslands Facebook group pictures: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gaslands/photos/

or do a Google image search for "Gasland cars". https://www.google.com/search?q=gaslands+cars&sxsrf=ALeKk007byydD6yHIkntz3m1IzkiriB0wQ:1589551745778&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi2qKLZhbbpAhUfJTQIHbccCC0Q_AUoAXoECAsQAw&biw=1298&bih=660&dpr=1.25



  • Cars Must be 60 grams or under.
  • Cars must have at least 1 "weapon".
  • Length: must be 4 inches or less
  • Height: must be 3 inches or less
  • Width: wheels must fit on Hot Wheels orange track however, spikes, weapons, etc. may stick out on the side with the total width being 2.25 inches or less.
  • Dry lubes only
  • 2 cars per entrant 
  • There is a $1 per car entrance fee.
