Part of the series of sports games put out by 3M in the late 60's and early 70's. The games in this series feature high quality components and solid game play. The SPEED CIRCUIT game was the strongest of them all and continued to be produced by Avalon Hill when they bought out 3M. The 3M edition is much nicer than the Avalon Hill version though.
The game parts are in VERY GOOD - EXCELLENT condition. It is 100% complete. It includes the board, 6 metal cars, 6 speedometer dials, 6 starting position cards, instructions, the Performance Chart and it's stand. There are a few grease pencil smudge marks on the instructions and a couple of the speedometer dials. It is missing the original grease pencil but that is easy enough to substitute for. The snap on the wrap-around cover/board is intact. I would grade the game parts a 6-7 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The inner game box is in EXCELLENT condition. I would grade it a 7 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).

CONDITION GUIDE:
MINT
(10): I will only give this grade
to brand new, unused items. NEAR MINT (9):
Shows virtually no use. Seldom if ever played.
Perhaps some very light handling creases to the
instructions
or other minor flaws with the game parts. Boxes will have
only
the slightest hint of shelf wear. EXCELLENT (7-8):
The game has seen some use but it was obviously well taken care of.
Game parts
might have
some light handling creases or other signs of
careful use. Board might have just a hint of color loss or
dented
corners. Boxes will have light rubbing to the artwork or
perhaps
some minor dishing or a very light stain. VERY GOOD (5-6):
The game was not especially well cared for but it still has
faired pretty well. Game
parts will show obvious use but nothing will be torn, badly
stained or have any serious damage. Box may have
some
rubbing, light staining, dishing, 1 or 2 neatly split corners,
minor writing and/or a few pieces of tape. No major
structural
damage and artwork will still be generally attractive. GOOD (3-4):
Obviously no care was taken with the game but it is still playable as
is. Game parts show
considerable use but the game is complete with all parts in
usable
condition. Box may have staining, writing, split
corners,
dishing and/or other structural damage but it will be intact and still
usable. POOR
(1-2):
Only suitable to fill a space in your collection.
Game will be missing
parts (these will be noted). Box will have serious damage and
may
be missing aprons or badly torn.
