Speed Demons & Super Spectators: Thank You!

 Wow, crew! Just... WOW! If you were anywhere near C-Maxx Raceway this past weekend, you know exactly what we're talking about. The air was filled with the spirit of competition, the track vibrated with the racing of miniature wheels, and the sheer, unadulterated FUN was off the charts!

We at C4 DRL, in collaboration with the awesome Charm City Collector's Club, are still buzzing from the incredible Downhill Racing Event. Seriously, you all turned a simple track into a full-blown festival of speed, skill, and seriously cool cars.

To our Race Teams: You magnificent maniacs! You brought the heat and the drive to compete that made every single race a nail-biter. From the finely made Hot Wheels speed demons to the Realistic Matchbox JDMs, you showed us what it means to push the limits of miniature gravity racing.  You folks are the heart and soul of this event, and we can’t thank you enough for making it truly unforgettable.

To our Spectators: You are the cheering, booing, aweing, high-fiving superstars! You transformed the raceway into a coliseum of excitement. Your energy was absolutely electric! Every “Ooooh!” and “Aaaah!” every clap and cheer fueled the racers and made the atmosphere absolutely incredible. We saw families laughing, friends competing, and a community coming together to celebrate the thrill of the race. You brought the party, and we couldn’t have asked for a better crowd.

And to everyone who helped in any way: From the volunteers who kept things running smoothly to the sponsors who made it all possible, thank you! You are the unsung heroes who made this event a resounding success.

We're anticipating next month's race, and we can't wait to see what you all bring to the table. We're talking bigger, better, and even more ridiculously fun!

So, until then, keep those engines revving, those wheels spinning, and that passion burning bright. You're all champions in our book!

Stay tuned for photos and videos from the event – we’ll be sharing them soon!

Keep on racing, Charm City!

Action-Packed Weekend Sees Thrilling Races and Tight Finishes

C-Maxx Raceway – The meanest & speediest JDM Racer took to the track this past weekend as the C4 DRL in association with the Charm City Collector's Club hosted a series of exciting races. Spectators were treated to close finishes, impressive maneuvers, and a few surprises along the way.

 A standout performance came from Nurses 22 Racing a brand new team to the C4 DRL. They dominated the competition, securing the top spot with a points difference of 6 points, by winning 3 races in the finals. Her closest rival, Jumping Bean Racing, trailed by 9 points, going into the 4^th race of the finals. Both Cherry Tree Racing & Double D Racing tied after the 4^th race of the finals which highlighted the intense level of competition. Double D Racing edged out ahead in a tie breaking 5^th race to take the 3^rd spot on the podium.

 Other teams finishing in the top 16 and earning points for the 2025 Charm City Cup were Raw Racing, Ghost Racing Inc, Recreational Hazard Racing, Dented Bed Racing, Butler Racing, Blackjack Racing and Scat Wheels Racing.

 A couple rookie teams made it heat races this month.  Alex Racing and Smiley Guy’s Garage Racing made it to the heats in their debut appearance on the C-Maxx Raceway.  Dog Walker Racing also made it into the heats as a rookie team in their 2^nd appearance of the year.  Some of our veteran teams, Blind Dog Racing, Different Smell Racing, Dragoon Racing, JPL Raing, Monster Racing, Moo Cow Horse Farm Racing, along with Road Hazard Racing failed to make it into the quarterfinals but managed to gain some well needed points racing into the heats.

 Additional teams receiving points for their performances by getting into the qualifiers are Busted Knuckles Racing, a veteran to the C4 DRL that has been absent from competition for a few months, Pirate’s Cove Racing, a rookie racing team in his 2^nd race for 2025, and a brand-new 1^st time team, Supreme Wheels Racing.  These teams were just a few race wins shy of being in the finals and we believe if they keep after the drop, they will end up on the podium in the near future.

 Only four teams were left just outside of the points for March.  Two veteran teams, Rainbow Unicorn Racing and Krazy Kat Lady Racing, along with two 1^st time teams, Juup Racing and Speedy Racing. Unfortunately, the competition was close this month and if a team’s racer wasn’t tuned in, that team was left looking from the outside.  

 The C4 racing weekend was a resounding success, showcasing both the competitive spirit and camaraderie of the racers. With its diverse range of participants, from 1^st timer and rookies to professionals and veterans, and thrilling races, the C4 DRL continues to grow in popularity. The next event promises even more excitement, as racers build on their experiences and push the boundaries.
