Drag Race ! Vintage full size arcade game by Atari.Has 2 steering wheels,shifters,and gas pedals for 2 player action!
On single player game,it works great,on 2 player game the steering wheel on the right needs work.I don't have the time or knowledge to try to repair it.


You dont see these pop up too much especially working.
 
Wow. Don't see this one show up much. I fell in love with this game at the beach. Probably before I could actually drive in real life! :)

I have a PCB or two, but even once I have them working, it's just not the same without that cab with red & yellow overlays on the B&W screen. Hmmm ....
 
I actually looked at this game last week. It's got issues. Graphic glitches.. Board will need some chip work. And the right Steering does not work. It's missing several parts to the steering assembly. Completely missing side art but the cab is solid. The left wheel does work. I made the guy an offer and he accepted. I'm in the finalizing stages of the purchase.
 
I knew someone else had made an offer.
My buddy tied the record for this at funspot earlier this year so I contacted him to come get it. I was set to head down there tomorrow when he calls me back and says his son wants to keep it. Typical bs story. It's too bad people use craigslist as eBay.

Most of all I guess I just wish the guy would call me and be honest rather than make up an obvious excuse.

Congrtas on the game however. What are you paying for it?

I don't think I got it either now.. The guy sent me an email confirming the agreement and that was last Friday. I've sent emails and phone calls every day since trying to setup a day to pick up the machine and I have not got one response. My guess is someone decided to pay full price and he is too much of a wiesel to just come out and tell me. He did have a very wimpy demeanor about him. I plan to keep email bombing and loading up his phone until he says something. lol.. Not saying anything is the worst a person can do. Just say you sold it for full price to someone else. Money talks and I understand that. Ignoring is just the cowards way.

Should I share his email and phone# so we can all bomb it? LOL

I saw that also. I had alot of fun with that game back in the day. Looks like it could be a money pit. Good luck.
 
He's about to get email bombed.. I made the deal with him Friday and he will no longer respond to any emails or phone calls. Here is what he sent me..


"Thanks for coming out and looking at the Drag Race arcade game on Thursday.I have'nt received any more replies about the game,so I thought I would offer it to you for $150. I would really like to have it out of my garage.Call anytime 513-312-****-John"


So now you can see why I'm a bit upset.. I'm actually way past the point of wanting the game and more into the irritated mode of why some people do what he has done. I am so close to sharing his info with everyone so we can just email the crap out of him.. LOL
 
I find it hard to believe this guy would offer this to you for $150, when we were going to pick it up for the $200 he had it listed for.
 
I speak no lie.. and that is why I figure someone probably did end up picking it up for 200 after he struck the deal with me. He got his extra 50 bucks and then doesn't bother to respond to me anymore to even give me the curtousy of letting me know he moved it to someone else for full price. I don't really care if that is what he did.. Just not letting me know anything and ignoring any future attempts of contact is damn right rude of the little prick. That truly is what anoys me.
