How to plan and run a Hot Wheels drag race tournament. This is a great way to have fun with your family, friends and coworkers. Any sort of racing is fun and everyone typically gets into it.
The trick is doing your homework to pick the "right" car!

This 22 car tournament took about a 1/2 hour to run.
You don't really need a fancy timing system, any premade Hot Wheels race system will work just fine.

The timing system used in this video is based around an Arduino project circuit board, Infrared LED's and IR receivers on 1" OLED screens.
