Super Slot Car Racing 2025 promises to be more exciting than ever. One of our Region’s winter family traditions and a fixture on our winter calendar for over 30 years, this family event is scheduled to take place on Saturday afternoon from 11am - 3 PM, February 1st in Millersville, Anne Arundel County.

And there is a bonus! The famous Chili Cook-off is not to be missed and will be some of the tastiest chili you’ve ever had. Perhaps greater bragging rights will go to the winner of our Chili Cook-off. Bring a pot of your best chili and taste the competition’s for a grand tasting event.

There will also be a great kid’s practice track setup to keep everyone entertained and warmed up for the big races.

Volunteers are needed for the most fun packed family event during the winter season. We need help in setting up the track, tables, chairs, breakdown and cleaning up after our event. Please let me know if you're available at 10am on Saturday, February 1st to assist. To volunteer just simply show up at 10am.

THER INFORMATION

Slot Car Racing for Beginners

Members are encouraged to purchase an Analog or Digital 1/32 scale Porsche slot car(s). Digital slot cars cost around 30% more and have the ability to be programmed and change lanes on more sophisticated, digital race sets. Our club race set is an Analog track.

A variety of Slot cars are best found for purchase on-line at Ebay, Amazon and other hobby websites. Local hobby shops do not offer the same selection.

New slot cars are encouraged as used slot cars may be broken and not operable. There are many brands of slot cars (Carrera, Scalextric, Fly, Ninco etc.), however, we find the Carrera and Scalextric brands run best on our club track. Prices range from around $50 to well over $100.

Porsche model slot cars are highly encouraged; however, other models may be raced but are not eligible to win trophies.

There will be loaner slot cars available for racing for those unable to bring their own.
