First it was matchbox cars, then H.O. cars with adult supervision, then it was pinewood derby with the Cub Scouts. From there it didn't seem like there was much for kids to do unless and until karting or Junior Dragsters if the parents could afford it. Well, look out because now there's Power Wheels racing!

I've always seen videos of parents modding them for fun but never to race them like this. It seems super fun, I wonder what all the rules for an event would be.

I can't get enough of this .gif, therefore I will post it again, and again if necessary.

Wasn't there a meme about "trust issues" and showing a NOS bottle hidden inside the door?

Do a little search for Barbie Jeep downhill racing. Power Wheels aren't just for kids, they're for rednecks too.

I wonder if they do any tire mods for traction. If not, the power to available traction ratio is gonna start looking really skewed...

I just looked it up on Youtube. Insane. I would break every bone in my body.
