Hot Wheels track (http://now.msn.com/now/0620-hot-wheels-track.aspx)
The guys who are competing in the vehicle portion of this year's X-Games get to do a loop on a giant real-life Hot Wheels track, which then leads to a jump! I would SO be in if they let me on it!

Look at the dude standing by the side of the closer loop. That's a full sized car buddy. Hells yes!

It's true. Greg Tracy is a stunt coordinator and driver for the Hot Wheels team, I met him at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb practice a couple weeks ago (he's won it six times and is stupid fast on that road) and he was telling me a bit about it. Sounds pretty sweet, I'm sad I won't be able to see it in person!

I watched some of the vids, but most don't show too much.

It will be crazy to see two cars going through at the same time, never mind the engineering it must take to build a structure strong enough to do something like that.
