An amusement device simulating a racetrack wherein the top of the frame is provided with a plurality of strips mounted for reciprocating movement. A motor and gear train rotate a rod positioned transversely below the strips, the rod being provided with spokes which contact flanges depending from the strips sequentially moving the strips which thereafter return to their original position by the action of springs. Simultaneously, the motor and gear train rotate a plurality of gears provided with offset bearing surfaces against which other flanges depending from the strips bear. Since the offset bearing surfaces are staggered, the distance of the return stroke of each strip varies. A racing figurine, for example, a horse, is positioned on each of the strips. As the stroke of each reciprocating strip continuously varies, the speed of each racing figurine continuously varies. In this manner the results of each race are new providing a source of continuing amusement for the user, adult or child.
