Page 20 (top) of the Glimpses of the New Coney Island book: Star Tobbogan Racer Photograph of the Star Double Tobbogan Racer roller coaster "This coaster was billed as the only "handicap racing coaster in the world," so perhaps it was the first of its kind. Two two-passenger toboggan style cars were simultaneously pulled up to the top of the lift hill, then raced each other to the bottom along a two-track wide figure eight route."
