2009 DRAGSTRIP DEMONThe new year of 2009 saw the release of a new series by Mattel and HotWheels called Dragstrip Demon. As the series name suggest, its pretty obvious the series is bout dragster machine, and when you see photo of them, you will drool to the max! but first a quote of the series from HWC.
"quote - Nostalgia drag racing has skidded from the sidelines and into the mainstream as faithful fans everywhere long for the glory days of old. Maintaining this momentum, Hot Wheels® is revisiting vintage with a line of Funny Cars, Top Fuel dragsters, factory experimentals, fuel altereds, and super stock vehicles. These models remind us of the days when ordinary men became daredevil drivers, strapped into cars that were transformed into fire-breathing monsters, and hurled down the track at super high speeds. Hot Wheels® proudly pays homage with this line of 30 cars designed to bring out the demon in you! "
