That has to be one of the more entertaining things I have seen set up at a mall! :)
Looks like fun!

I used to set up my hot wheels like that as a kid, not quite as fancy as there setup of course. Just a bit of ply wood & some bricks.

Question though, why do they line them up behind each other? Why not side by side?

I was wondering the same thing. Why not side by side? Less wrecks maybe? :)

That really is almost Pinewood Derby stuff. Why don't they run it much longer? I remember the Pinewood Derby in 1959 or so as being half the length of the church Rec Room.
