Slot car racing is making a return, and it doesn't need lots of cash or ability to have enormous amounts of fun. The hobby of slot car racing is so named because each racing car has a little pin that projects underneath it. This pin sits in a slot that is unbroken all-around the entire track. Most slot car racing tracks have two slots so two cars can race.
Slot car racing is a hobby in which two or more racers can each control a scale model racing car on a scale model track. Normal scales include 1 to 24, 1 to 32, and HO scale. Those numbers on the 1 to 24 scale denote that 24 inches on the full sized racing car are represented by 1 inch on the scale model. For instance, a real racing car that is 16 feet (192 inches) long would be only 8 inches long at 1 to 24 scale. Take a look at the Slot Racing Car Video lower down on this page. Beginner's slot car racing kits have everything needed to begin slot car racing within minutes. The track comes in short plastic sections that snap together so that the slots line up properly. Common track configurations are oval and figure eight. In the oval track, two sharp curved sections are connected by two long straight sections. Cars essentially race around an extended circle. In the figure eight track, the two long straight sections of the oval track are crossed in the middle, creating the appearance of the number eight. The figure eight is an exciting design because it has the potential for the cars to actually collide! Collisions are not possible on the oval track. Slot car racing is gaining in popularity. Some specialty party businesses are offering slot car birthday parties for children. Up to 16 (or maybe more) children can race on a super sizeable slot car track at the same time! These businesses in addition cater to adults, providing slot car parties to businesses and corporations. Everybody can learn to slot car race just by picking up the controller. It is a time-honored leisure pursuit that is making its way back into the hearts of those who first loved it decades ago.
