This happened at the Indy 500. Pretty damned impressive promotional stunt. 332 feet.

I think it's awesomely clever how the driver is in "Hot Wheels" mode throughout the interview, saying that "to get up to speed, we needed to use a Hot Wheels toy... the V-Drop... dropping off of a door" - AND that they actually used a gigantic door and an orange track.

"You CAN practice in your backyard, and we all did - with our toy sets..."
