The second part of the Street Rod racing simulator, set in 1969. It resembles its predecessor in every way almost to the hair, someone would not even recognize them from each other. You still drive around in old American cars, of which a few have been added since last time. In the garage, you tinker with every detail on the car and parts wear out over time, so you will probably spend more time here than on the tracks. From the garage, you go to a dubious business where racers from all over the world gather, you find your rivals among them and you choose whether you will race for money or a car. There are only 3 tracks, but they are quite difficult. There are two races: drag or road racing. The drag race tests how fast you can engage 1st gear. Your ultimate goal is to challenge and defeat King, who drives a Shelby GT500. If you do you get to regain your long lost crown and take home his girl, again.
