    ipdb.notes
    This game was made right after Gottlieb's move to Paulina Street, and is a longer version of Gottlieb's 1933 'Speedway', measuring 18 inches by 36 inches. The additional length allowed the cars to advance 5 laps instead of the previous version's 3 laps. The upper playfield now includes chromium-plated ball rails and the name 'Speedway' is no longer at the very top.
