Abstract A drag strip race game in which a pair of contestants race miniature cars against each other, including tracks for each car, each track being divided into four sections and each section of each track being energized by electrical circuits. Associated with each track and for each contestant is a simulated gear shift, including an operating switch having a movable switch element or gear shift stick for selectively closing an electric circuit to each one of the track sections, whereby by moving the gear shift stick through positions representing gears one to four of a transmission, may successively energize the track sections and propel the car along the track from starting position to finish position. Starting means are provided for starting the drag race and for preventing false starts, win indicating means are provided for indicating the winner of the race and reversing means is provided for returning the cars to starting position.

Claim 1
Independent Claim

A drag race game in which at least a pair of contestants may race miniature vehicles against each other, comprising: A. at least a pair of roadway means on which a vehicle is adapted to run; B. a vehicle for each of said roadway means adapted to run therealong; C. electrical circuit means whereby each of said vehicles may be energized to run along said roadway means; D. a simulated automobile gear shift for each of said roadway means provided with a handle representative of a vehicle gear shift lever and being movable from a neutral position to at least one operative position to control one of said electrical circuit means for moving one of said vehicles along its roadway means; E. start timing signal means operable to render the operation of said simulated gear shift means ineffective to energize its associated electrical circuit means until a start signal is given; and F. means for terminating the operation of said start timing signal means should either one of the gear shift levers be moved from its neutral position into said one position prior to the start signal.
