    ipdb.notable_features
    Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (4), Passive bumpers (2), Slingshots (2), Standup targets (3), Gobble holes (2). Hit center targets or rollovers to advance each of three cars to complete races and light gobble holes alternately for Special. Each ball into gobble hole when lit for Special can award up to nine replays, depending on how many races were completed. The backglass is silkscreened with the words "Game Over" and the backbox insert has a hole for a light bulb but no wires are leading to it. Clearly plans were made for this game to have a Game Over Relay, but this feature did not first appear in production until seven games later with Gottlieb's 1957 'Royal Flush'. Thus, the flippers stay energized even after all balls have been played. Maximum displayed point score is 7,990,000 points.
    ipdb.notes
    The backglass carries Gottlieb's famous phrase: Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs!
