Abstract

A continuous racing game consisting of a trackway provided with separate paths along which vehicles race, a propulsion system having pluralities of resilient spokes associated with each of the paths, each of the pluralities of spokes being mounted for rotation and having a series of spokes radially oriented such that the ends of the spokes extend into the paths, and a mechanism for moving each of the pluralities of spokes closer to the surface of the trackway in response to a remote control signal generated by a bellows-like mechanism.
