World Finals Appearances

Hot Wheels has appeared at 5 World Finals. The truck has known to get sick air at the stadium.The most being in 2004. The last 2 years Hot Wheels has not competed in the freestyle segment,most likely because of rollovers or damage in Racing. Although in 2006 it was unexplained why he didn't compete in freestlye,but in 2007 in racing his drive shaft fell out when he was halfway down the track. Hot Wheels often has been known to push the envelope during freesytle. For some reason Hot Wheels usually comes out later in the order of freestyle (For the exception of 2004).
