Bringing a crowd of his own to the window display at the Toy & Action Figure Museum earlier this week, museum employee Josh Satterlee prepares an older version of a track to promote the 8th Hot Wheels Double Dog Dare Derby. It is returning as its own separate event Saturday, May 25 with games and other activities joining the fun.

  The tracks and vehicles may be much smaller than a national day at the races, but the fanfare and scale of 2013’s Hot Wheels Double Dog Dare Derby is expecting no less enthusiasm as engines set to fire when it returns to Pauls Valley on Saturday, May 25.
