The game is housed in a massive cabinet!! This machine takes up a phenomenal amount of floorspace; 16 square feet, which is truly massive for something from this era. The game has a truly massive game board. It is a card rack system, containing a board for each of the eight cars, sync, coin control and score boards.

There are mirrors overhead that allow passers-by to see the game action while people are playing.

Used discrete logic hardware and a full color screen.
