Hooptie World Championship

Six teams arrive in Tucson, Arizona, for a racing competition with $5K hoopties. It begins with a no-holds-barred race across both asphalt and dirt. Then the teams will have less than 18 hours to build and modify their vehicles for the final drag race.

Each team has endured the mini-gauntlet and dragstrip, some with disastrous consequences. Team MR2-D2 didn't even make the eliminator event after a blown engine, while Team Mob-Z shredded their driveshaft at the dragstrip once the light turned green.

We are entering the third event in the series, and the teams are beginning to learn to expect the unexpected.

With the fourth event looming, long nights and limited build times are pushing teams to their limits. But as always, the show must go on.

We are entering the penultimate event at the HWC, and our teams continue to press forward with little regard for their personal well-being. However, the camaraderie couldn't be stronger, with teams helping each other out whenever trouble should arise.

All the chaos and destruction has led to our sixth and final event, the mega-gauntlet. For this event, there's no eliminator. All teams and drivers must compete in the final challenge, covering dirt, asphalt, drift, off-road hazards, slalom and drag.
