Racing through the Summer with C4

The Downhill Racing has seen a decrease in participation. However, the racing is highly competitive with just enough entries to run the Hot Wheels Stock Class.

July 12th was the day that would see Piper Langenfeld beat all the guys with her Yellow #3 Ford Probe Funny Car. With a 13 die-cast field, Ray Ritchie thought he had the car to beat. His Yellow #3 Ford Probe Funny tip toed past the JG Jr. White “Hershey” Ford Probe Funny Car in the Heats, toasted Gavin Sleeth’s Bone Shaker in the Quarters, and finally spilled Ken Sleeth’s Hot Tub hopes for a run at the finals where he would be stopped in his tracks by the mirror imageentry of Piper. Piper’s Funny Car motored past Gavin Sleeth’s Ratified ride to qualify, then beat the James Goolsbee’s Sling Shot in the Quarters and breezed past Dustin Barker’s 2009 Ford F-150 in the Semi-finals. Piper would be the final victor!

James Fortenberry made a run at the top spot in the Downhill Racing Hot Wheels Stock Class held on August 2nd. James’s White Porsche 911 was a great deal faster than James Goolsbee Sr.’s Blue #1 Lumina Stocker and swiftly dispatched Devin Batty’s Silver Ferrari F12. James Jr. thought he had the answer for the Fortenberry Porsche, but saw his Gold Ferrari F-40 loss to the Porsche in the semi-finals. Nick Sickle’s Screamin’ Hauler did just that through the qualifier against Devynn Barker’s Arrow Dynamic and James Goolsbee Sr’s 360 Modena in the Quarter’s. Nick’s Hauler stopped Screamin’ when it met the Silver T-Rex Firebird Funny Car of Steve Langenfeld who promptly past Dustin Barker’s ’83 Silverado in it’s qualifying round. The T-Rex Funny car also beat up on the Mustang Funny car of James Goolsbee Jr. in the quarter finals prior to meeting with the White Porsche belonging to Mr Fortenberry. Steve’s T-Rex Funny car would give him the final victory against the Porsche and also pu Steve alongside his daughter as a Downhill Racing Hot Wheels Stock Class Monthly Winner.
