Development

The game was developed by Tantrum Entertainment, a company founded in 1996. [2] The title was in development as early as September 1997 [3] and was originally scheduled to release in May 1998. [4] NHRA drag racing stars Ron Capps and Whit Bazemore helped beta-test the game which was publicly displayed at the May Fram Route 66 Nationals. [5]

Reception

Hyper gave the game a score of 64 out of 100, stating: "Drag racing fans probably wouldn't be disappointed and would probably boost the gameplay mark, but a racing title without handling will wear thin fast with any other gamers" [9]
