There’s a diecast racing storm brewing here in the northeast and YOU are invited to participate! Here’s the scoop straight from Rhode Island Hot Wheels Club President, Jim Lombari:

As you all know, here in Rhode Island we love to race. Well, it was always my belief that Hot Wheels were faster than any other diecast company – until now. Another member of the RLC Club is my friend Hatchit who took a laser wheel Datsun by Matchbox and has become public enemy number 1 of the downhill race world. This car has been turning times in the 3.7’s which is faster than any other stock car we’ve seen on the 50ft speedway, and has proven itself on the shorter tracks as well.

I’ve put out a challenge for anyone who can break this Matchbox curse. I am offering a healthy cash prize plus a Rhode Island Club car by Liberty Promotions for anyone who can take this car out. I also encourage Mattel to step up with a prize just to save the face of the Hot Wheels brand.

We will take any car that can break the 3.8 time and face this animal to a best out of 3 race.

If you think you have what it takes, post a picture of your car here and send it to the Rhode Island Hot WHeels Club, PO Box 19167, Johnston, RI 02919. Your car will be returned or crushed depending on what you prefer. If you win, you will be rewarded with honors. There is no time limit. We will race until we take out Hatchit and his evil Datsun. Good luck and don’t be shy – we need to save our brand! Good luck and always have fun!

Are you up for the challenge..? Here are some shots of the Datsun and a few of its upcoming challengers:
