Strap yourself in for the ride of your life...

Somewhere in the far-flung reaches of the universe, a race of epic proportions is about to be run. Space-faring dragsters sporting 1,000,000 horsepower plasma turbine engines rumble in anticipation of the coming challenge.  Do you have what it takes to hurtle down the straightaway at near light speed while dodging mines, missiles and deadly ion blasts?  Only the brave or the foolish need step forward.  Take control of one of four unique dragsters and arm yourself with your choice of equipment.  Then, if your nerve permits, shoot for a good breakout and get ready to haul some serious interstellar ass!

The Great Space Drag Race is a 2-4 player game designed for quick play, with games lasting 20-30 minutes.  Included are 4 dragster Control Consoles, 88 play cards, 80+ counters, the track dice and 4 custom miniatures representing the dragsters.  The rules are easy to pick up and your dragster will be blazing a path to glory in no time...
