I recently came across a track set with the above name. 8 feet of track, adjustable space leap with a ring of fire different to the accessory set you could buy, car and best of all a large 7” iron on transfer for your t shirt. I can find no info about this set though. Does anyone here have knowledge of it. I wasn’t able to re size the pic, sorry. Thanks. Laurie

1977/78 US issued track set. The box shows the new wide coloured track - red, black and white. Up until that date the tracks had been red,blue and white.
Nice set and to have the Iron on transfer too, that's good. Not sure how common these are in the US but they are hard to find outside of the US.

Thanks for the info Steve. It does indeed have the black,red and white track. The base for the jumps is from 1970 while the jump ramps actually say “wide” at the joiner end, confirming your info about the tracks being the new wider version.Car included is as shown on box. I have attached a pic of the transfer ,if it could be re sized for better viewing I thank you. Laurie
