What is mail-in diecast racing?

Mail-In Diecast Racing is a remote racing format where you build and mail your diecast cars—usually 1:64 scale Hot Wheels, Matchbox, or similar—to an official track to be raced in organized events.

Instead of needing to travel, you simply:

Choose an event
Prepare your car
Ship it to us
Watch it race online

Each event is run like a real motorsport series, with heats, brackets, timing, video coverage, and official results.

You don’t need to leave your garage or hobby room to see your car run on a professional track.

How mail-in racing works at Timber Creek Speedway

We’ve made the process simple, fair, and fun - whether you’re a first-time entrant or a seasoned builder.

Step 1: Choose Your Event

Timber Creek Speedway hosts a variety of events throughout the year:

Season Championships – multi-round events with points and standings
Themed Races – muscle cars, exotics, JDM, trucks, fantasy, and more
Stock Classes – unopened or lightly tuned cars, perfect for beginners
Builder & Custom Classes – for those who go all-in on tuning and customizing

Each event listing includes rules, deadlines, and class requirements, so you’ll know exactly where your build fits best.

Step 2: Build and Prepare Your Car

Select your favorite 1:64 diecast and prep it according to the event rules. Depending on the class, you might:

Run a stock car straight from the blister pack
Apply performance tuning like polishing axles, adding graphite, or balancing weight
Submit a fully custom build with wheel swaps, added weight, paint, and body modifications

We provide detailed specifications (weight limits, wheel type rules, allowed mods) for every class to keep the racing competitive and fair.

Step 3: Mail It In To Us

Once your car is ready:

Complete your driver entry (we provide a simple form).
Label your car with your driver name and event name.
Pack it securely (bubble wrap or a small box works great).
Mail it to Timber Creek Speedway at the address provided in the event details.

When your car arrives, we check it in, inspect for rule compliance, and log it into the event roster so you can track its progress.

Step 4: Race Day

On race day (or race week):

Every car is seeded into heats, brackets, or time trials, depending on the event format.
Races are run on our performance built Timber Creek track, designed for consistent runs and exciting finishes.
We record each race with high-quality video angles and, where applicable, timing data.
Results are posted and updated so you can follow your car round by round.
