Welcome to Slots-A-Lot Raceway! 

The #1 Place to Race on L.I.

 

 

What is slot car racing?

 

 

 Slot car racing is the hobby of 

 racing miniature electric-powered 

 replicas of full size cars on a track 

 layout with "grooves" or "slots". 

 The slot cars have a guide flag 

 attached to the front of the car. 

 This flag can swivel in both

 directions and follows the slot in

 the track. Either battery or direct

 current powers the track. There are three tracks, each with eight slots and each providing a different level of challenge for the inexperienced to the very experienced driver. As well as a newly added, state-of-the-art, 1/4 mile drag strip.

 

The use of a hand controller hooked up to the main power source at each color code station provides the current to the slot that the car is racing on. By pulling the trigger of the controller, current passes from the track power source through the set of relays, through the braid on the track and the slot car, to the motor, and through the resistor in the hand unit. The further the trigger is depressed, the quicker the slot car will run. To slow the slot car down or to stop completely, the trigger of the controller is released.

 

 Racers quickly develop an 

 enhanced sense of eye hand 

 coordination. There are many

 skills that will be learned and

 challenged with slot car racing

 from learning to build and decal

 your car to learning and

 understanding how speed, velocity

 and banking the turns is critical to driving successfully. Drivers can rent a car and controller, purchase a ready to drive car, purchase a starter kit with a ready to drive car and controller, or purchase parts and tools to build a car from scratch.

 

This hobby is interactive and is enjoyed by all ages. Good sportsmanship and creativity is learned and promoted at all times and to the highest levels.
