This track set was available by sending in all 35 UPC's from the Highway 35 World Race singles. The set was not sold at retail. However, as with some product lines, the pegs were clogged with the first batches so by the time that the third wave was released, many stores did not order more product because they still had so much inventory still on hand. I believe there were five waves. I could find some of wave 4 but a collector friend helped me get the last wave.
Since so many people couldn't complete the 35-car set to send in for the Ultimate Track Set, Mattel let us send in any Highway 35 World Race UPC's. Apparently, not all of the Ultimate Track Sets were redeemed because the track set was reportedly found at Mattel's Toy Store outlets that are connected to a few of their warehouses.
Mattel also sold both the Complete World Race (black box) set and the Ultimate Track Set on their website. My recollection is that they were $99 each at the time. Or, they sold them as a combo for $199.
There were two exclusive models in the set, Power Pistons and Sling Shot. These two models did appear in the 35-car singles set but they didn't have the same decorations. Power Pistons being from Roadbeasts and Sling Shot being from Street Breed but the two released in the Ultimate Track Set did not show either team designation.
This set combines some of Mattel's other sets into one Ultimate track set!

The 4-way intersection, similar to Criss Cross Crash, appears to use a few parts from

Holy cow... As a highway 35 fan, when you opened that exclusive complete collection of the highway 35 set and saw how beautiful they were all displayed.. My jaw dropped

Race Grooves, as a Hot Wheels fan, I wanted to say thank you. As a kid, i would watch 80% of your videos, and now that im 20 yrs old, I rewatch them from time to time. Again, thank you for what you have done for me and the Hot Wheels fans, I couldn't be more thankful for this amazing content you brought along this past years. Wish the best for you and your loved ones❤🎉

Oh man. I am feeling really nostalgic right now, I literally watched every single one of your videos as a kid. I would watch every track review, Track Time, and everything in between, the day it came out. Thank you for the hours of toy car entertainment you have provided me and millions of other people over the years. Gosh, this channel is just so awesome. I use to rebuild some of your Track Time layouts with my Hot Wheels track, I remember all the track tips you have given, all the nice cars you've shown, all the exciting moments of this channel, everything. Thank you RaceGrooves, you made my (and many others) childhood. Heres to even more kids discovering your channel and it becoming part of their childhood.

It's a long time commenting after original upload time but I can't say enough how I appreciate that you have these old and hard to come by hotwheels and actually use them. So many people would be content collecting and staring at them through the original packaging but you're showing how they are intended to be played with and admired.

I finally found my favorite childhood channel, I’m 17 and still loving these videos. I miss those times.

Its been too long. This man made my childhood. I used to watch all of his hotwheel vids. Ive come back to see these because it reminded me of buying tracks and cars. Good old times

I remember watching these videos as a kid, the nostalgia is real I wish I was alive when the highway 35 cars were being sold, I was lucky enough to get one of the scorchers cars for free at a flea market of some kind, I must have been like 5 at the time lol
-
My friend had this when we were younger, I'd go over there everyday for months. Very fun times. cries
-
This channel literally made me, like, how I am and my interests. People know me as the car guy because of you and I thank you so much for that. You are the actual best. Your channel makes me so happy when I watch you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are the best collected in the world. Thank you.

nice to see some people still have a passion for hot wheels no matter what age

childhood sheds tear so beautiful.

My nephew and I applied regular track pieces to certain areas and were able to get up to nine cars at once, the problem is, while the track is big, there's no time for cars to slow down and recover from one stunt to another. Adding more track gives them a better chance of completing the whole course multiple times.

OMG i'm in the half of the video and I just feeling jealous of this great stuff from my childhood, power pistons is the #1 of my imagination top 5
-
Wow! That Highway 35 set is amazing! I really love Highway 35 and Acceleracers, it brings the nostalgia back
-
This channel was my whole childhood i played hot wheels when i was 5 and i miss it
-
Awesome set! Love the colors. I remember watching parts of this movie as a kid and thinking it was the coolest thing ever
-
I think I speak for all of us when I say, Thank you for being our childhood.
