WOW, that takes me back to christmas 1978, the best fucking present an 8 year old could have(normal Scalectrix seemed boring compared to this). I notice the lights on the police car don't work....great condition tho. Sadly my dad took mine and a box load of Star Wars toys to a charity shop when I left home......WHAT AN ARSHOLE!!!!....gutted.
i had one of these....one day i burned some paper on the ramp for a courageous 'flame jump'....which worked great...unfortunately when the paper burned down it burnt a hole in the ramp.......it was the death of that set...though i still have it and it is still in the loft.....xD
@CyberDashFleaCom ..cars are all toast i'm afraid!!...we also had the le mans 24hr set, so all told there was a white jaguar xj6, jaegermiester porsche, cop car and i think a trans am or something...and they, and about three sets of scalextric all died honourable deaths....the sets are still in their boxes, but are so tatty i don't think they are worth anything but memories.....especially to send them from the UK!!.. : )
I had to tune my tyco cars to work with this track and i managed them to make the turns almost everytime, little more skill factor wasn´t that bad, tyco formula cars didn´t have the mass so I compensated with toy car chassis and little coins... I wish I could get the original ones somewhere, also the bridge is missing...best track that I´ve ever raced. Thanks for the video!
The UK packaging was way better, with a plastic tray inside for all the pieces to fit in, the US box had everything just packed loose in it...best Christmas gift of all time...
I miss my Race and Chase...best toy I've had other than my Big Trak and Transporter!!! Wish I still had mine!!! Hey you guys were just running the course; the best part of it was catching the other car and I was a master. I would even use the U-turn effect to turn the car sideways to stop in front of the Catch Me car!!!
do u colect these cars???? i buy mine from rite aid. if u want one that goes like 15 miles per hour ( the speed a 7 grader runs) then take the shel of the car of and just have the base itle go twice as fast.
If you get another Race n Chase please notify me ASAP.....I will buy it

My Brother got this for Xmas the year it was released, was way fun... But it's not true HO scale.
You need tp pull 180s in the turn to go the other way, it;s way more fun....
