Disney/Pixar Cars Motor Speedway of the South Set

Finally, Hotwheelscollectors.com put up a "Sneak Peak" of the Cars Motor Speedway of the South Set for their Red Line Club members. You have to be a Red Line Club member to be eligible to purchase this set. It is expected to be released next month, May 2008. I've cropped and sharpened the pictures so you can see the most detail. I've discussed the Red Line Club in the past, and you can find out more about joining at this link HotWheelsCollectors.com

The Disney/Pixar Cars Motor Speedway of the South set

The Thirty-Six (36) Piston Cup Racers Ready to Start the Race!


Each Piston Cup Racer's Number and Sponsor's Colors

The long awaited set contains many of the recognizable characters you've likely purchased long ago...Lightning McQueen, The King, Chick Hicks, Leakless, Nitroade, RPM 64 and Dale Earnhardt Junior. It features a few that have been in limited release such as Octaine Gain and Vinyl Toupee in a Target Set, and the Movie Moments pair Tow Cap and Gasprin. Five of the unreleased Cars have been put up with the Sneak Peak! The long awaited Apple Car, along with Faux Wheel Drive, Transberry Juice, Sputter Stop and the limited release Vinyl Toupee. As always, they look incredible!

Do you realize the Apple Car's number 84 was the year the famous Apple TV ad referencing George Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four," came out? It was directed by one of my all time favorite directors...Ridley Scott! You may know some of his films...Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise and Gladiator! The famed ad heralded the launch of Apple's Macintosh. Funny how I've been a life-long fan of Apple, Ridley Scott and Pixar. They all stand for quality! Take a look at the famed ad below.





Faux Wheel Drive doesn't look too happy does he?

Transberry Juice sounds good enough for breakfast!

Sputter Stop looks like a relative of Chick Hicks!


Vinyl Toupee is one of the most unique Cars!


Writing this article has been fun. I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll certainly let you know when more information about the Motor Speedway of the South set is out. Hopefully, HotWheelCollectors.com will have a release date and cost soon. I'm certainly looking forward to adding this set to my collection.
