Updated: July 27, 2012

It's called the Hot Slots Car Shop. It has one of the largest selections of tracks, cars and accessories you'll find anywhere.

You don't have to be a slot car enthusiast to enjoy it. Everyone is welcome at Club Night on Thursdays. That's when car lovers compete against each other and get their hands on the latest products.
