Kickass Hot Wheels Track Goes Upstairs, Downstairs, Around The Freaking Block

It took a lot of time and effort to build this 2000-foot long Hot Wheels track— From The Marbles says that's equivalent to 24 miles in big people land—with only a three-minute video payoff. We say it was absolutely worth it. We found ourselves unaccountably rooting for the little plastic car, especially during the heart-stopping moment at 1:32 when it nearly jumps the track. Go little car, go!

The whole thing's meant to raise money for Hope For Gabe, a foundation raising awareness of and searching for a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare and pernicious form of the disease. So check that out, freeloaders.
