  • Patent number: 4010956
    Abstract: An automobile drag racing game comprising a playing board having two parallel lanes each of which is designed to accommodate a playing piece in the form of a miniature drag racing car, so as to conduct a drag race between the two cars under conditions simulating those of an actual race. The playing board is divided into four transverse zones corresponding with the portions of a drag race in first, second, third and fourth gears. Movement of the cars is controlled by dice, or in another embodiment by a number wheel actuated by a gear shift lever which can be shifted into first through fourth gears. The numbers thus randomly selected are utilized to determine the number of feet which the car may advance in any given gear by reference to a conversion chart with which each player is provided. Each conversion chart is calculated to produce racing performance characteristics of a well known type of car and driver.
