Slot car racing is a great sport for all ages from around 8 years old and up with many different levels of competition from novice through to National and International racing.  Club race classes are raced in specific classes and for those starting out there are a range of “loaner” cars available. The members of the club are experienced racers, some with national and international experience and are happy to give technical advice and help.  Cars and parts are also available for sale.


Our mission is to promote this great sport to all ages!
