Hooooooly CRAP !! I assume electronic timers do the lap counting, as these things are faster than the eye can follow.

That's silly fast!

[goldenfooler]

looks like they count who got the most laps in the time frame.. wicked fast though

What cars?

What cars?

Seriously! All I saw was a blur.

My father raced slot cars when I was a kid, but they didn't go anywhere near that fast.

I guess we found the cure for cancer already, so we worked on building 400 miles an hour slot cars.

mini versions will be running through your blood steam cleaning out the effects from the crap you eat.

That's no fun, I mean look at those crashes! Not a single one captured on 1,000,000 Frames Per Second film. Where's the action? It looks like they're all single guys and younger guys who will grow up to still be single guys. Get some R/C cars and really put your skills to use... I know they design the things and all, "crafting" them to be efficient, but you know, do something where you have to DRIVE and do more than just pull a trigger. How can they enjoy that?

Ohh, therein lies the skill involved !! Every crash shown involved the driver not letting off the trigger by 6mm every half a second, which is quite an amazing feat in itself !!

My... God... they'll be the ones holding themselves back from hitting "the big red button" which nukes something! I spoke too soon!!!
lol

It still does not look that fun.

Back when I did some slot racing, you could atleast WATCH the cars. Here, it's just a streak of color. While I am impressed with the speed they are showing, and the tech it took to get them that fast... I can't say it'd be a spectator sport.

Holy crap!!! I got whiplash just watching...

Need to slow down the footage a little so we can see what's happening.
