REMEMBER THESE OLD RACE GAMES ???????????????

[skip68]

I found this with the box and had to buy it.  It works great and only set me back $3.  
I had one when I was 9 or 10 and played the heck out of it.  

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

YES I had that!!!

[nvrbdn]

sweet. nice game.  with the box.

[BigBlackDodge]

Wow..........I had that too!




BBD!

[Tilar]

Looks cool, but I don't think digital was even a word when I was 10. 

[DC_1]

Had one.

[bull]

I too had Digital Derby. I played that game constantly.

I didn't have that but the kid next door did. We played the $#!T out of that thing. The kid across the street had a NHRA game we played all the time too. I don't remember what it was called put it had the "tree" down the center of it and it was shaped like a top fuel steering wheel.

I had a game that had a Christmas tree at the base of the track & a shifter for each player.  You had to build the track a certain way cause power would cut off so you'd have to shift.  At the end was a little red shed lookin' finish line & the flag would fall down to the side that got there first.

The box had a mustached guy grabbing what I thought was a pistol grip shifter.  If I'm not mistaken the cars were Chargers' as well.

My room ended up being downstairs & our sewer line would get clogged with tree roots on occasion flooding the basement.  I wasn't living with my mom & this happened & they threw out a bunch of my stuff.  Included was that track.

Was it red and powered by a 9v battery? I still have one of those around somewhere!

My dad's friend(also a drag racer) had the red one.  It is called Redline Racer.  It was a lot of fun.

I have the newer version of the drag race game, got it about 10 years ago at Wal Mart. Looks alot like the video but less bulky!

Loved, LOVED that game!! Just seeing it brings back memories. Great score. Thanks for posting, Skip!! 

[skip68]

It's amazing how far technology has come.  My kids have no idea how good they have it. 

[dodgecharger-fan]

Wow!

I had one of those too.

I would never have remembered it until I saw the pictures.

Now that the 'cuda is out of the garage I'm gonna make that half my slot car room.

I scored the track I was talking about in this thread.  Supposedly sets in good shape can go as high as $700.  When the set I won was listed I kept bidding on it until I was high bidder going in pretty good size increments.  I think that scared other bidders' off.  Other sets that I looked at had broken cars, tracks, finish line shed.  $300 may seem like a lot but it was a score.  

I'm gonna come up with a pulley system to lift it up out of the way when not in use.

[nvrbdn]

sweet score. and like the idea of the track on pulleys. up and out of the way when not used.

[skip68]

that's a cool race track.   I would imagine those ARE hard to find.

I think the Plymouth version was called ShutDown. I bought one about 10 years ago but it never showed up.

[nvrbdn]

was that set made by eldon?? the dodge charger sets and the coronet and charger set were by eldon.

[Drache]

I picked this race track up from a liquidation sale. Like an idiot I only bought one out of the stack of 30 there and they were only $15 each!



I should have picked up at least 4 of them 

[nvrbdn]

i got that one too

[Drache]

i got that one too

After the fact I realized I should buy more to create a large city scale race in my basement. They were sold out by the next day.

Post pics of the track piece ends. That looks like generic track sold under the Artin and many other names. I have miles of that track. One is a simple  butt type joint with plastic clips to join the pieces together. The other type is a quick snap type connection. I have lots and lots of both types of track.

Years ago when my nephew was five or six years old, he was left in my care for most of a week while my sister and brother-in-law drove out west for his deployment to Iraq. For that week, my whole house was covered with so much slot car track it was a challenge not to step on it. I'll bet I had a dozen power packs plugged in to keep it all running. It was good times for sure, but man it took another week to get it all put away again.
