They are friendly and professional but above all else they know their product lines. If you get into these hobbies you WILL need expertise that you can tap for parts and upgrade advice. While we racing on their track my youngest grandson popped a shock tower after hitting the rail. The folks there did a temp repair free of charge and sold me new oil to fix it perm when we got home.

I also asked them to double check the part number because I live far away. So now I will eat $25. Also, their prices on parts are ridiculously expensive to the point it's insulting.

It took me a bit to find what I needed because this store is just so huge and I have never shopped for this before. But I eventually found it and they're only 56 cents each. So I ended up getting about 20 of them in an assortment of colors. Well organized and well stocked. At the register, even though there were five registers open, it still took me over 20 minutes to check out. Ugh. Just slow moving because coupons and problems and the cashier was doing her best but slow. Patience, my Yelp friend. Patience. [Review 12995 overall, 312 of 2020.]

Once I got the register and realized that it didn't ring up correctly, a supervisor came over and told me I needed to go back to the fabric department and have them fix it. Joel is the only one that came over and fixed the situation. I'm not sure why they couldn't take my word for it and give me the 30% off. Took 15 minutes to get it sorted out. Trust your customers! I shouldn't have to go out of my way to fix a problem that I didn't create. I guess saving the company $5 is more important than a customer experience. I won't be back.

I think it was NASCAR and trucks going fast and loud with only a little bit of crashing. pretty sure the format is total laps over time and everyone has to run on each lane. crazy fast cuz it's wide open all the way and hopefully the car sticks except when it's supposed to slide. meanwhile on the flat track it's all practice practice practice.
