Operating Instructions
- Place Vehicles: Position one Hot Wheels vehicle into each launcher at the starting line. Ensure they are seated correctly.
- Prepare to Launch: Pull back the launcher mechanism for each car. The further back you pull, the more speed the car will generate.
- Launch Cars: Simultaneously release both launchers to start the drag race. Watch as the cars speed through the loops and towards the finish line.
- Determine Winner: The first car to cross the finish line triggers the flag, indicating the winner.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down track pieces and vehicles with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: The playset is designed to fold up for compact storage. Disassemble the loops and finish line, then fold the main track sections. This helps protect the components and saves space.
