The third, single-lane Sizzlers track for 1970 is the Newport Pacer Set. Track components include: 14 feet of orange track, 5 joiners, 1 single-lane Speed Brake, 1 single-lane esses, 2 full curves, 1 single-lane speedometer and 1 Juice Machine.
The object of this track is to record the fastest speed possible for each Sizzlers car. The trick to making this happen is using just enough Speed Brake to get through the esses. Use too much brake and the car will clock a slower speed. Use too little brake and you wipe out in the esses.
Here’s the instructions.
I’m going to test 3 cars on this layout.
Here’s a hot lap.
Check out my YouTube video to see what speeds I got from each car.

So there you have it. The 1970 Hot Wheels Sizzlers Newport Pacer Set.
It’s still fast. Still fun.

And, for something different, here’s the United Kingdom variation of the Newport Pacer Set which Mattel Rosebud called the Super Oval Set. It’s the same as the North American Newport Pacer Set except it comes with a battery powered Power Pak charger instead of a Juice Machine.
And one more…here’s the German Newport Pacer Set with Power Pak.
OMG! I had one of these when I was a kid and LOVED it!!
