Star Race - Now there's a game you don't see too often. Great line up of classics. I see one of my favorites in there as well - Olympic Hockey. It's been a while since I've seen a train set set up like that.

Thanks for sharing  ^^^

You guys have great meets and what a beautiful looking collection!  *%* I've never seen a Star Race, it looks very cool.

Pity no more photos were taken as Mick's collection is a true rarity, specialising in wide bodies.
They all need a good clean now as they were thrashed hard all day long with minimal faults and credit should be given to all PPCR crew who help tickle the old girls up to play the way they do  @@*.
I was glad they let me join the comp late as it was my 44th birthday and I arrived pretty late after doing a lunch with my family.
Really stoked I won the day, it was a challenge though as I basically played the 13 machines straight without practice (although we play at Mick's joint a lot )and was happy to make the grade and also win the HAUNTED HOUSE high score trophy. Good on you GIBO ( my brother from another Mother who joined me on the podium )

Yes CRASHRAMP, STAR RACE is a real gem and it is my favourite machine at Mick's place, some really cool sweeping shots and those two bloody vari-targets are a pain in the arse to not only hit but keep working the way they do.
Pity Mick doesn't do forums as he has little stories about all his machines and is only too glad to let people play them.
Thanks to Mick and Robin for a great day of fun and frivolity, hoping my turn for a comp is next and I also have some unique games to play and hopefully a new surprise?

Sadly this is something I see all too often, electronic entertainment mixed with train buffs.
This is what I work with every day, bloody buffs.
I've still managed to resists the temptation to consider model trains, unfortunately the same can't be said for electronic entertainment....
