How cool is this? My daughter was going through the cabinets in our room looking for one of her toys and found this game I ordered YEARS ago. I've never seen it before or since I bought it. I think I only ever played it once. The girls want to play it tomorrow after school. It should be fun. You have to get from high school to the speed shop. You can get tickets, race other players, and some other stuff I don't remember. :D

Anybody else ever see this game?

1996. It was sponsored by Good Guys and even came with a 1997 Good Guys schedule in it. (which is still in the box)

That is way cool. I would love to have it just to frame it and hang it on the wall. What a neat game.

Me and the girls played it tonight. I remember why I only played it once before. It takes for ever to play one game. If two of the squares were flipped on the first row and a couple of the rules changed, this game would be awesome. As it stands, it's kind of tedious.


.....but it's still cool. :D

Then change the way you play it. We do that all the time, especially when the kids were younger. Sometimes you just lose interest when the game is too long. But like you said...it still sounds like a cool game.

So I had to google this game and see what I could find. This link tells a little about the creators and how the game was played. I found it kinda interesting. The one thing that bothered me was that this guy found it at a thrift store for $3, why can't I find something cool like this at the thrift store.
