As a kid, the very first Hot Wheels accessory that I received was the Jump Ramp Pak.

And I loved it! To see Hot Wheels catch big air, make a perfect landing and power down the rest of the track was too cool.
Today I am making a custom track by putting 4 jump ramps together in one drag strip.
Of the current crop of cars, I find that ’67 Camaros work very well on jumps. They roll quickly and their metal bodies on metal bases provide enough weight for the cars to sit down and stay on the track after taking a jump.
Here are the 4 ’67 Camaros that I will be racing.
from l to r: orange ’67 Camaro, green ’67 Camaro from the Mod Bod series, black ’67 Camaro and a yellow ’67 Camaro.
And here’s the video of what happened on the track.
So there you have it. A custom track; The 1969 Hot Wheels Quad Jump Drag Strip.
It’s still fast. Still fun.
