“The "Scratch" LEGO Racers set is a fun, affordable option with unique pieces, including a minifigure and car base that add excitement when used in races. While simple, the set offers a cool feature where the car launches, and the minifigure flies out, making it great for competitions with other sets in the Xalax subtheme. The included elastic is a nice touch, useful for Technic builds.”
 

About Racers Xalax

LEGO Xalax, also know as Crash 'em Racers was a Racers subtheme which was introduced in 2001 and discontinued the same year. These sets used special Xalax Figures which were not minifigure scale. The Xalax Figures were customized figures that were slightly taller then an average LEGO bricks, but still shorter than 4 plates high. Most Xalax sets included eight pieces since they were just different modifications of the same car.

Xalax was introduced in 2001 and currently consists of 16 sets. As of today, 4578 Ghost is the most valuable Xalax set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $290.
Summary
Racers Xalax Scratch set 4572 was released in May 2001, retailing for $3, but has since been retired. New, unopened Scratch sets are valued at $24, while used sets can be found for $7 in good condition.
