Operating Instructions

Once the track is assembled, follow these steps to begin racing:

1. Place Car: Position a Hot Wheels 1:64 scale car at the starting point, just before the booster mechanism.
2. Engage Booster: Turn the green crank on the booster mechanism rapidly. This action propels the car onto the track.
3. Continuous Laps: Continue cranking to keep the car moving through the track's loops, turns, and the lava intersection. The booster is designed to provide continuous propulsion for multiple laps.
4. Crash Zone: The track includes a crash zone where cars may collide for dynamic action.
