Abstract

A game board comprising a playing surface having indicia thereon defining an oval race track, with toy vehicles adapted to be moved around respective lanes of the track, and additional indicia on the playing surface for advancing vehicle positions, for indicating the number of laps completed by each vehicle, and for determining any of various troubles encountered during the race. Player-actuated wheelies, and means for launching same, cooperate with the indicia on the playing board, to determine the movement forward or backward of each vehicle, generally in response to the degree of skill of the player.
