There is a listing on eBay for a slot racing magazine from 1992 that has an unusual track on the cover. They refer to the 155' track as the "King Klimber". It looks like a King with the deadman and finger reversed.
Any knowledge you have to share on the magazine and the track would be appreciated.

The track uses all the turns of a King track and the actual running footage, folded up into a Hillclimb. Was a very popular design with 15 or 20 built over the years.

I was interested in the second part of the headline that mentions "magnetic racing".
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.
