Bought a NASCAR a few weeks ago and it's being delivered tonight, woot!

I know this game doesn't get a lot of love, but it's one of the only DMD games I have gotten a decent amount of play time on, and I really enjoy it.

I don't care for NASCAR as a theme, but it's all just racing anyway. The game doesn't have any detail about specific NASCAR things you need to know, so it might as well be any kind of racing.

This is my first "modern" pin, so I am excited (had to share).

Welcome to the DMD addiction my friend

I'm actually holding a Nascar for a fellow pinsider that got delivered to my garage last night...

I think I'll actually go home and give it a whirl!

+1 on that.

If you have not played Nascar I recommend you do so. The theme is not my cup of tea either but the play is pretty cool...plus, if you break it "if was already like that when it was delivered".

Give it a shot. Based on what I've seen of your pins though, you will probably be underwhelmed comparing NASCAR to some of the ones you have, lol.

I have the advantage of never having played most of the games out there, only about 1/3 of the top 100 list, so I don't know what I am missing yet.

YET!!...be very careful are you proceed sir.

I used to enjoy watching the races on TV, until they went to cable...and I enjoy my NASCAR pin.

Congrats! Post pics!!!

Here's a score you can try to beat tonight

(JK...this machine was on location and had some serious issues, like it kept kicking out extra balls - I think at least 5 or 6 during this one game, or I wouldn't have even come close to this score, ha! It was still a lot of fun though....)

Sure way to a GC score: get the machine to randomly dump out extra balls.

For everyone else, BadBrick and I played the NASCAR in his picture locally, and the game just kept giving extra balls when you drained. Neither of us are accomplished pinball players, even though BB is better than I am by a lot.

The POTC next to it is in just as bad of condition. I think I broke the ship on it last time we were there. I got a ball stuck under/behind it, and it never moved after that.

Actually I think we are both equally poor players...although I consistently beat my wife* (who has played about 3 games of pinball in her life).

* ...and I usually get higher pinball scores than her, too!

Nascar was the "modern" game that got me back in to playing. It will hopefully be my next title.

Congrats!

#12 11 years ago

Dag yo, I want one.

#13 11 years ago

Sorry the pic is sideways. Not su're why my phone did that.

#15 11 years ago

it's ok, my laptop is sideways, too, so it all worked out here.

Looks great, brother.

#16 11 years ago

Thanks! I can't wait to LED and pimp this thing out. Time to go get some matchbox cars I think.

#17 11 years ago

I think it a very fun pin ... Played it a lot when it came out (there were several around town then) Within a mount they all had issues ... most had that test/crash car go ka-flooy - flippers not working and that trap door car-wheel thing in the upper left getting stuck.
All of 'em sat a while then disapeared.
I don't care for nascar at all but the pin (in working order) is very enjoyable and I guess if you like "The left trun only nascar gig" it would be more so ...
Congradulations matey!!

Just picked one up last week. Definitely an under-rated Pin. Congrats.

#19 11 years ago

Same to you! I am loving it so far. My damn sister, who has played maybe 2 games of pinball in her life, had an amazing game last night and set the current Thanksgiving high score on Nascar. (I reset them for thanksgiving).

#20 11 years ago

I had one for a while and it wasnt a bad game, it just wasnt my theme.

#21 11 years ago

I know it doesn't get a whole lot of love within the pinball community but personally I really enjoy playing my Nascar. It works very well for me in my collection and is great to play for a change. When I do play it I find that I will spend a lot of time on it having fun.

Yep, I agree.

#23 11 years ago

All I need is Nascar to complete my killer line-up. BBH, Monopoly, Nascar.

Blew the trough up-kicker coil last night. Finally got to championship mode for the first time, and the damn coil overheated, lol. I was draining balls so fast it was having a hard time keeping up spitting them back out again.

Had an amazing GC score when most of the solenoids went dead and the fuse blew.

Now I have to wait for the replacement. BAH!

#25 11 years ago

Nascar a super fun game. Congrats!

#26 11 years ago

Welp, I finally figured out what happened.

I need to replace Q1 now and also upgrade the roms. I guess digging out the burner is in order.
