SLOT CARS SO CAL: Slot Cars San Diego

SERIOUS HO RACING IS BACK IN SAN DIEGO!

There hasn't been a place to race HO slot cars with a high quality, high speed HO slot car track in for 17 years, but it has now return with this cozy little shop. Gary Morgan last had the "Kensington Speedway" back in 1997. Now fast-forward to 2014 and he's opened his new "HO SLOT CAR SPEED SHOP" on the east end of Mission Valley on Twain Street near Mission Gorge Road - not far from Qualcomm stadium. It features a super-smooth and super fast, 65 foot Custom built "Engleman" layout that features a "TrackMate" Computer timing system. .

The new Speed Shop is all about fast, fun, high-quality HO racing. Morgan builds custom slot cars, offers advise, and carries lots of high performance HO cars, parts, and accessories for many brands including: Tyco, Tomy Super G+, Mega-G, Lifelike, Auto World, Aurora, SRT, Wizzard, BSRT, Slottech and others.

But what the Speed Shop is really all about is racing, racing, and more HO racing.

The "Speed Shop" is currently open on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5 till 9 pm. There are plans to soon open for even more tuning and racing on Saturday afternoons.

IKEA Raceway Microbuses

There isn't a whole lot of slot car activity in San Diego these days, but the one hot spot for HO racing is the brand new IKEA Speedway (Yep, I said IKEA!) in University City. There is also an occassional T-jet race at Cowles Mountain HO Speedway, a ton of HO slotcar building, testing, and tuning that goes on at the Kensington Speedway. and there is rumored to be a 24th scale track hidden somewhere in El Cajon.
