Phoenix race both 1:32 and 1:24 Scale slot cars. We race all types of categories from the old retro cars to the more popular car classes. Slot Car brands raced include: Scalextric, SCX, FLY, Carrera, Slot.it, Slotter, Revell, MRRC, Ninco, Vanquish and even Scratch Built models.
Please view our 1:32 Scale Class Listing and 1:24 Scale Class Listing pages for car images.
1/32 scale events are held every fortnight on a Saturday afternoon or evening. ( track owners discretion ). Starting times can vary between afternoon or evening and generally include a BBQ or Pizza. These events normally don’t require much setup, however if non track owners wish to step forward and select the classes and run the event, then they are more than welcome to do so.
For those interested, we also race 1:24 scale slot cars with Plafit / MJK and Scale Auto chassis on either Friday or Saturday nights and are held on the alternate weekends to 1/32 scale racing.
For the old timers, we also race Scalextric Retro cars including: 1970-76 F1, 1977-79 F1, Small & Large Sedans, Le-Mans and Sports cars. This us usually run every Wednesday fortnight.

We run proper Routed Wooden Tracks as opposed to the old click together tracks. This prevents warps and twists resulting in much smoother and better racing. Click here to view some of our tracks.
