Six lanes of intense track racing. The ultimate in superfast drag racing.

I second that. I hope you've not packed it away Steve, otherwise you've just got to start again for us. Please position cameras at strategic points along the track :lol:

we have done similar races at the Belgium 3 inch meetings with dozens of people and the winner was the one who got his car on the track for the longest distance.
Of interest was that older original Superfast did make better jobs then later Mattel cars, probally due their weight ?
