down south on adventure in search of some high-banked fun so I pulled in here late saturday…read moreafternoon to get some. FYI: "Cave" is an apt description because honestly, it looks a bit sketch pulling up the first time but it takes maybe twelve seconds to understand that the Slot Car Cave is totally relaxed and way friendly for all comers. the venue wasn't exactly planned (insert mid-length narrative here) and I really can't imagine it any other way; the facility has a certain je ne sais quoi - a hint of light machine oil, tiny electric arcs, and fine dust hang in the air. add four-place digital timing plus adjustable brakes and you're literally on the cool kids' race track in the garage next door. ...as a kid it was a big deal to get invited over so just like then try to make friends and play nice while you test your skill on an amazing double-extra-large circuit: two long straights, a high-banked turn and a couple flatter switch-back type things. the main track is in really good shape and the air is conditioned but the environment is not entirely controlled so you'll have to do a little work to stay in top racing form... but on the plus side you get to learn about cleaning and lubrication and electronics, and gearing, and frictions, and finances and other cool STEM-stuff. track time is a bargain precisely because the hours are limited, it's roughly the equivalent of throwing in to help with upkeep and repairs. rentals are available or bring your own car(s) and controller. there's a full service parts store on premises if you want/need to build, repair, or replace anything. staff and other racers are super friendly and want to help you live your best life (or at least the bits spent on the track) and the only improvement that is really needed here involves my ability to navigate the course.
