Quoted from Sparky

...if you do end up getting a Death Race, I will actually drive down just to play it. Last time I played one was 1979...

mess, I am old.

I may have found a busted up one in the US, waiting for guy to get back to me, think he s mulling over how much he thinks he can get out of me for it.

Your not old, and just think if you weren' t born in the 70's( like me), you might not have ever gotten into this hobby, maybe be a dance dance revolution champ or something like that instead ( if born in 80'/90's)!

Wow... I would actually trade a nice pin for a busted Death Race... that is awesome. Well, if you ever do find another, let me know...

I am impressed.... now find an Indy 800 or Sprint 8, and I will kneel and bow for you...   These fall in the nearly impossible to find category. Death Races used to be ultra-rare, but now some are popping up here and there.  Most are units thta have been broken for 25 years and have been forgotten in a warehouse corner. I have found a few rare games like that. My Front Line is exactly such a case. Broke down in 1984, put in a corner, and forgotten.

I did come across a complete set of boards for an indy 8, but I figured a cabinet would never present itself, and it is too difficult to replicate.

If any images or plans exist for it, no, not too difficult. Moving it? Hell yeah. I don't know if it is true but Disneyland in California had one running for the longest time apparently.

Man, would I love to fully restore a rare classic like that one day... just a dream...

What do they say about careful what you wish for....
