    ipdb.notable_features
    5 balls for 5 cents. Passive bumpers (12), Kick-out holes (3). Backbox light animation (cars race around track). When the player tilts, the word 'Disqualified' is displayed in the upper backglass instead of the usual word "Tilt". Replays are projected onto the backglass. The knock-off button on the bottom of the cabinet is connected to a meter to register how many games were taken off. Each push of the button engages a ratchet that engages a set of points that in turn energizes a meter, presumably after a cash payout by the proprietor. Sound: 2 bells.
    ipdb.notes
    This is a flipperless game. The flipper-like bumpers on the playfield do not move. This game was inspired by an actual midget racing car named "Bally's Special", owned by Pan American Sales Company, according to an unsourced caption to a photograph of the racing car appearing in Cash Box, Dec-30-1946, page 41.
