[PUMPING FISTS IN THE AIR] The car and driver I most hoped to win did in fact take the glory in this day!!! Full watch _with ads_ . You've worked so hard to benefit tangibly, in no universe would I deny it to you! Again, this is Exhibit A in why ESPN needs to make room in their programming schedule for diecast racing. Please, please continue your call-backs to previous races when applicable; it's a small yet incredibly significant aspect I see here most often, if not the singular example in the game!
Ah Chris this is the best comment ever! Thanks for watching those ads thank you for always supporting. And great to get your feedback on the flashbacks to past races during instant replay. I will keep it up! Thanks for everything sir thanks for watching!
@@K03sport yeah sometimes I will binge a smaller tournament from this channel to get the same effect like you describe! It fills in the days when few of my subs are uploading.
now we need a cross channel racing series with a set cast of racers plus the local track racers. it should culminate in a grand prix for all the marbles.
Thanks so much for watching, Elevation! Yea Speedman really flexed in that last race! I wish she had done it sooner. Thanks so much for watching and supporting 🙏 more to come!
Yea the Evo is so well tuned for this kind of racing. Thanks so much for watching and for supporting throughout the tournament. Means a lot! Stay tuned… great racing still to come!
The Skyway Thunder Run. What a fantastic rally cross series that was. A scrapper of a final. Congratulations Arya Solo 🏆Force, Speedman, Le Blue, look forward to next time. Always looking forward to the next Skyway installment. Collaboration with Pikes Peak will be awesome 🏁
What determination in the drivers and the announcer commentary 👏👏🏁. Then an announcement about crossover channel events, this is going to be outstanding 👏 👌 😳😍🎉🥳👏👏💯%
Yes sir! I think the muscle car rally is going to be so much fun behind able to track the cars over two tracks! Thanks so much for Walt’s being so supportive and for being present for this whole tournament. Means a lot! More to come!
So good! I would have taken an 8 round final!! It was just so exiting that I wanted more. I'm sad for my "friend" Jacques, but congratulation to Arya Solo! Her uncle Han must be so proud! Great finals my friend and I can't wait to see the collaboration between you and EP!
You have to consider, on a minute by minute basis, isn't this among the very best in the hobby? I am astounded at how, despite the brevity, these videos can feel like 15 minutes worth of action
You’re the best, Jeff! Thanks always for your kind words! Would’ve loved to have seen your friend Le Bleu take the championship! Some day he will I know it! But Arya Solo is a boss and i sure hope her dad Han is proud too!! Haha so goodn thanks sir!
The most EPIC finale! Phenomenal racing action and commentary. Exhilerating, hands shaking, knees quaking, breathe taking, beyond excellence. 1 can close their eyes and live the experience of being in the actual race through your brilliant commentary. To quote the iconic Ms. Tina Turner, "Simply the BEST". Cheers mate! "Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo! 🤙🏽
Oh man! Tina Turner quote?! I’m honored! Thanks for this lovely comment 🙏 I’m so grateful for your support in all this! More to come! Wishing you good days, sir
Oh man! You knew I'd like the finals! She finally gets it done! What an exciting end to the first tournament on Thunder Run! Arya Solo Baby!! Love it! Great stuff as always my friend! I look forward to your collaboration with EP Videos. It should be awesome!
yesss! Arya Solo... my hero! Thanks so much for the kind words. And yea hope youre enjoying the Muscle Car Rally Tournament. Having so much fun working along side EP!
This was a wonderfull tournament. I feel we have all adopted the thunder run as the new ultimate track on the skyway ! A bit sad for Le Bleu, but also happy to see Solo winning this one, to me her mitsubishi casting was the best of the whole tournament. Love it ! Keep up the work, can't wait for the next collab !
So sad for Le Bleu! Would’ve loved to have seen him take a championship! But Arya Solo is such a boss. Thanks so much for your support all throughout the tournament. Means a lot! Stay tuned… collab with EP should be great!
@@theskyway For my two cents, I think there is no need of explanation. Unlike others, who have dioramas that set them in a particular geography, yours seems to be in a mysterious place that leaves a lot of fill-in to the imagination. It is a really cool aspect - plenty of story with not every detail colored in.
A fitting close-fought final to an epic tournament - 4 different winners in 4 races! This is a great track and I look forward to the collaboration with EP Videos.
That’s right! 4 different winners in 4 races. Guess that means they are all fit to be finalists. Thanks so much for commenting and being present during the tournament! Means a lot!
Thanks so much Eight Bit Brain! Means a lot. Having so much fun making these videos. And yea the journey towards a co-host may have to involve another actor thats for sure.
WOW, brutal in those last two races; Speedman smashed off the track first--but then race four she somehow shuts it ALL DOWN and powers through, what a legend!
Brutal truly! Speedman was one of my favs. I wish she had stayed on the track and had done a couple more power runs. Thanks so much for watching! More to come!
Arya Solo put it all on the track on the 2nd lap. Also on that 2nd lap, Le Bleu and Speedman were working together to make sure Max didn't finish. On that last lap though, Le Bleu got his comeuppance from the 2nd lap setup.
Haha I know it! The fact that Speedman kicked Le Bleu across but left Max Force high and dry… what an upset! Thanks so much for being here for this tournament. Means a lot. The next tournament should prove to be epic!
First off, I feel bad this has been out for a week and I'll finally watching it. The good news is that I've had a week of anticipation! My pick. While Le Bleu I think holds the honor of being the most feared driver in the tournament and I might say because of his experience, could be considered the favorite, I'm still picking Solo. She's been my favorite since her first race at The Skyway and has really grown into being a champion, even if she does sport an Evo right now. I do think that Speedman's SP2 is the best looking car in these finals. I'm also really surprised that Force has made it this far considering the short wheel base of his car. It is really impressive. Bring on the finals! Race 1: Gosh, how is Force so good!!!! Also, I'm not sure what you've done with the loop, but it has been much more consistant lately. Race 2: THIS TRACK IS WILD!!! Seriously, there's not a safe stretch anywhere. Solo is such a strong driver and really shows how gusty she is by pulling off a win here. The action at the finish line was awesome and devastating for Force. So excited to see the next race. Race 3: SOLO STRIKES AGAIN!!!! She is so, so good here. Fantastic speed and then the best defensive move of the tournament. I've considered doing vertical wall for open track, but if I did we would lose great moments like this. Bring on race 4! Race 4: SOLO!!!!! (sorry for using all caps so much) You've done a fantastic job on your channel, this tournament and in particular this track. It is truly awesome racing. Keep up the great work and I can't wait for the Muscle Car Tournament. Race on friend!
I know its been a month, but I am going to take this opportunity to say thank you to you, Russ! This track is so exciting, and you made it all possible and so well tuned. I've really enjoyed the performance of the extreme 180. ITs such a dynamic part of the track, but also as you so keenly pointed out 'Its the safest place on the track' and thats saying something! Thanks so much for commentating. We will have to do a joint commentary on a race or two for the upcoming GT Rally. "I'm trackside with the owner and manager of Spoolheads Racing, and driving mentor to John Alexander, Russ Lasson." That'd be fun!
3 days late. Been very busy on my other channel, Small Shop Talk. However, another very exciting race. Lots of action. Very dangerous track. Race 2, did tghat car do a 360 spin on top of the other in the turn, WOW.
Amazing! Love the track & the whole production. If someone would be so kind, where can one purchase these tracks from? The single lane and the wider ones? We are limited to the basic Hotwheels .5 meter strips in South Africa. Keep up the amazing work!
I know the host of Aussie Diecast Racing League can't be serious about the odds given on drivers, but on his show I DO enjoy that he puts them up on-screen before the races. Who knows? I would never expect a wallet company to foist over doubloons for a channel!
Hey Larroreid! Thanks so much for watching! keep an eye for announcements on our UA-cam page. If you subscribe to the channel you'll get notified. It will have all the information on how to sign up. Probably wont be another sign up until later in the fall. Thanks for watching!
that mitsu is a chunker...Arya really needs to evaluate/adjust the aero to account for the extra weight....Max Force - if you can't win, show off for the fans... more ppl attended this than the last NASCAR race....
Well said!! Arya pulled through! Thanks so much for watching. Hope youre enjoying the Muscle Car Rally Tournament currently going on. Its just starting to heat up!

When you got skyway and 3Dbot who needs NASCAR, formula 1 or IndyCar not me
Look up gravity throttle racing you need that
Well said! Don’t forget GTR!
Thanks so much for watching! Means a lot! And thanks for the kind words. The community is filled with some great channels.
yes, 3d, skyway, and gtr are more entertaining than f1 nowadays

Unbelievably great interplay between all the drivers. What a match!
It’s true! Every race was a whole drama. Thanks so much for watching and for writing comments the whole time. Means a lot! More to come!
Brutal track. No rest. And WHAT a great tournament. Absolutely breathtaking from start to end.
Thank you so much Realbillball! Thanks for watching, I love this track. Truly unpredictable! Stay tuned, we’ve got some great racing on the way!
Elle Speedman with an outstanding pass to race to an incredible finish but unfortunately not enough to edge out SoLo. GR8 final race
Thanks so much for watching, Elevation! Yea Speedman really flexed in that last race! I wish she had done it sooner. Thanks so much for watching and supporting 🙏 more to come!
Absolutely superb 👍 Greetings from Finland midst mid summer festivities.

I would perhaps also have preferred a double helping of eight laps, given this IS the finals. Quality over quantity, I am satisfied immensely!

Quality over quantity I think is right… and I’ve yet to build a score card that can contain all eight races 🤦🏻♂️😬 I’ll work on its
Your comments always put some creative wind in the sails! So grateful!
It was a crazy final round! Thanks for the entertainment!
