Sheer beauty. I love all of these casting, but the Mercedes is the hottest one. Awesome racing, amazing camera work, brilliant production. Well done, very well done. 🍸🍸😎🍸🍸
Thanks so much Paul! Means a lot! I love these castings as well. The AMG is just such a sleeper hit in the diecast community. There was a good one over at TTC for Fast and Furious. But otherwise, I don't often see it. And this was just a straight Mainline with some FTEs. So pretty. Thanks for watching sir!
BEEEEEAAMEEEEER POOOOOWWEEEEER!!!! LETS GO CANNONBALL CLAIRE proof yet again that again consistency is key at the Skyway, home of amazing diecast racing and a thank you Theodore Braves
Thank you so much Swiss Chocolate! Thanks for watching. Cannonball Claire is by far the coolest in the group. That Beamer has always done well on other channels. It's stable, and it's fast in the straight aways. Thanks so much again!
Amazing racing and action and top speed. A scary moment for Claire riding on top of Juan's roof. That could've gone terribly wrong. An epic on your feet moment for the fans. Adrenaline spiking edge of the seat experience through the brilliant commentary and coverage. A race for the history books. Off the chart superb production. Cheers mate. "Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo! 🤙🏽
Ah thanks so much GDM! Claire riding on Muertes hood was the highlight of the tournament for sure. Fantastic racing from this group and some of my favorite castings. Your comments always mean so much thanks so much for watching, sir!
I really did too! Those castings are always so fast in my experience. And I just loved the way it looked. Such a stellar edition. But alas. Thanks for watching and thanks for ALL those thumbs!
Hey thanks Iron Beard! Thanks for watching! This group indeed brought some good excitement to the track. A lot of beautiful castings too. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words!
Sounds like a great time to revisit Thunder Run 😉 In a universe of possibilities we may yet see a track even more evolved and brain-melting than that impressive design! Stay tuned!
Thanks so much for watching! Thunder Run for sure was my favorite track. I had to take it down due to some shifting life circumstances. Maybe some day there will be a new track with the same kind of intensity, duration, and style as Thunder Run. Thanks so much again.
Your reply to this comment is truly invigorating my imagination. Stoking the flames of my Diecast obsession. I hope some day I can get a space again that will allow for something spectacular. You've been so supportive (and protective) of this new simple track. And IM so grateful for your support and kindness. I hope some day to re-enter the ranks of fantastic tracks.
@@theskyway Yeah life happens. Hopefully 🙏 whatever it is can be considered part of the past and today is a better situation. 2024 I plan to send some of my mods out to different tracks. It’ll be a first for me.
Firstly. Your music for the show is great... Some beautiful cars in this group today. Wow, so much going on in that race. Great moves in races 1 and 2. Race 3 saw that awesome move by Cannonball Claire. It was a close race on the scorecard. Then, finish with a tiebreaker for 2nd spot. Sad to see the merc and Jag get left behind. Claire's consistency in that she never came last and all the others did won the day, plus awesome driving with two wins. Great show 🏁
Hey thanks a lot! I like the music too! Been fun finding tracks for these races. And love the commentary. You’re absolutely right about Claire. She dominated at the end but stayed relevant when she wasn’t in the front row. Thanks for watching!
The competition is strong. Ones who were champoins are defeated today. Great racing. Semifinals will be a fierce battle. And thanks for your great work and amazing commentary, as always !
An uncharacteristic last place finish for the Jaguar XJ220 today! Was it an off day for what is usually a fearsome weapon on the track, or was the caliber of racing simply that cutting edge? Another spectacular show at _The Skyway_ decided by a white knuckle tiebreaker run 💯😎🏁
I know right that XJ220 is one of my favorites in this whole tournament, and I thought for sure Pierce would be the champion. But alas, that ford GT is like lightning. Thanks so much for another fantastic comment. Thanks for staying tuned!
Is Pierce the only new driver or has Jasper raced here before? Oh, you just told me he's a returning champion. Hard to pick against Muerte as I'm a big fan, but I've seen too many fast XJ220 to pick against that long wheel base. I think there's a good chance Pierce will be the fastest of the group. I've always wanted the Ford GT to be fast, but I have yet to have seen one that gave me the speed chills. Race 1: Well the Ford GT held up there and I'm nervous that Piece is going to be just average in these races. Still a second place finish it right what he needed to do here. Race 2: Ok. I'm convinced I picked wrong. Pierce is going to be in BIG trouble in these next two races as he starts in the back row. Race 3: Wow. How did Cannonball Claire ever make it though that turn. That's the craziest pass I've ever seen. Also, Pierce is in big trouble. Race 4: I thought that Claire was going to leave everyone in the dust after the lead in the first straight, but Force really did well to keep up with her. Overtime: I'm picking Force. Race 4 made me a believer. (after race) Too bad for Muerte. I hope to see him again at The Skyway! Well I stunk it up with my pick today but I'm really excited to see the next round. Should be some fantastic racing. Thanks!
Oh gosh That XJ220 was a disappointment for me. I was sure it would be the fastest on the track, and Ive always loved that casting. And the Speed Machines run from like 10 years ago (the one in the video) is so beautifully detailed and with the FTEs it really popped. But that Ford GT is just wild. I've always loved that car as well, and this was one of the first castings I ever purchased once the hobby took over my whole life heheh. It was great to see tear up the track. Every car you pick in these tournaments, is the same car I picked when I filmed them. So I share your disappointment when they fail. My goodness im ready to build a new track. I miss it so much. Thanks so much for you take in all of this. Such a bummer to say farewell to Juan Carlos Muerte. That AMG is so darn good looking. Seeing Claire slide over its hood during turn one was by far the most exhilarating moment thus far in the tournament. And the Semi Finals hold some great moments as well. Thanks for always showing up to these races and your commentary is fantastic. I hope to do a race commentary with you on SpoolheadS! That would be so much fun. Thanks again sir!
I know I screamed the same thing! The red Mercedes got swapped for the yellow one. It was more about having a fresh line up of cars for this tournament, and letting the character be the main focus, as opposed to the car. And I just love that AMG! Thanks so much for watching.
Cannonball Claire has balls of steel 🤭 she wasn't afraid to take some air in order to keep her first position. After all, that's what cannonballs are made for, no? Go fast through the air and DESTROY the competition ⚫💨💥
So well said! Driving on Muertes hood in order to stay out in front, Ive not seen something quite like that before. Such good racing. Thanks for watching!
@@theskyway wasn't sure if my comment would be removed, but I laughed so hard when it came in my mind I had to give it a try 😅 Will soon catch up on the other videos as well :)
Fantastic racing! Congratulations to Cannonball Claire and Gail Storm. That was some pass by Claire over Muerte in the 3rd lap. These are some pretty sweet builds. Great job everyone!👏🏼
Haha wow never seen a car get lifted up like that around a corner. Really good stuff. Well done on the coverage as always too!!
I know right! That was like from an action movie! Thanks so much for watching. The Semi-Finals have some great racing!
Sheer beauty. I love all of these casting, but the Mercedes is the hottest one. Awesome racing, amazing camera work, brilliant production. Well done, very well done. 🍸🍸😎🍸🍸
I have so few of this MB AMG in street and race versions so yeah it's a bit special to me as well 👍
Cheers Chris.@@Chris_Hood

I thought the Jag was going to do better with the long wheelbase.
Great racing. Great video. 28,382 thumbs up

Excellent racing as usual at the Skyway. Really enjoy your commentary👍
Thank you so much RB! So appreciate your kind words and thanks for watching 🙏
Fantastic as always! Loved that one car driving over another cars hood! :)
Haha I know right? I’ve never seen that before. It’s great to see a group as hungry and wild as this one. Thanks for watching
There is never a dull moment at the skyway!! Some really exciting racing today. Absolutely beautiful cars fighting it out on the track.
Hey thanks Iron Beard! Thanks for watching! This group indeed brought some good excitement to the track. A lot of beautiful castings too. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words!
Always love it when it ends in a tie ! Once again canon ball Claire showing the boys how it’s done 😂
Yea the tie breakers are all over this tournament. It’s such a short track that every little move counts. Thanks so much for watching, Victor!
Great race action. Think we’ll ever see the thunder run track again? That course was amazing as well as this one.
Sounds like a great time to revisit Thunder Run 😉
In a universe of possibilities we may yet see a track even more evolved and brain-melting than that impressive design! Stay tuned!

We needed an 8 races for this one! But so good. Congratulation to the 2 winners!
Thanks so much Jeff! Yea this group was competitive enough they could’ve gone 8 races for sure. Thanks for watching
Let's go 🏁
Great stuff as always 👍
Lets goooooo! Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
The competition is strong. Ones who were champoins are defeated today. Great racing. Semifinals will be a fierce battle. And thanks for your great work and amazing commentary, as always !
It's tough to see the Champions fall in the first round, but it's making way for some new Skyway history to be made. Thanks so much for watching!
Muerte noooo! At least that drift will be on the highlight reel.
Well said! Yea but such a bummer to have to say goodbye to him so soon! Thanks so much for watching 🙏
I love it great job you have awesome series
Thanks so much ooohwhop! Means a lot!
@@theskyway you welcome and I have the Daytona 500 track set I am planning make a downhill series too
@@oohwhop716 do in! You won’t regret it!
That was some good racing! 😃
If there was one more turn the outcomes of several races could have been very different. 😎
I hear you most definitely! It’s a short track and every move counts on it. Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Lets racee and lets get it done
Thats right! Thanks so much sir! Thanks for watching.
