Jim Honeycutt explained how everything worked and helped my son understand how to care for his new slot car. Will definitely be back.

If you want to get a little bit of joy for awhile. Stop by here and play the slot cars for at least 10 minutes. Very fun.

Magnatech Slot Car Raceway is one of the last surviving electric model car (slot) raceways open to the public. There were thousands of 'commercial' slot car tracks in the USA in the late 1960's and 1970's; there were a half dozen racing centers in the greater Atlanta area alone. A lot of things caused the slot racing centers to close one by one- people not being as interested in hobbies and the rise of computer video games being a couple of reasons. In the last few years, there has been a revival of sorts with a certain amount of people who were glued to computer screens in the 1980s and 1990s playing "adventure" and "virtual reality" games, discovering it was actually more fun "playing" in 3-D. So hobbies like model railroading, R/C airplanes, and yes slot car racing have made a comeback. For a change, more new raceways have been opening in the last few years in the USA than have been closing. All that having been said- Magnatech Slot Car Raceway is one of the best-equipped and best run model car raceways in North America. Magnatech Slot Car Raceway is about people having fun and inviting their inner child to come out to play. Rental racing cars are available so that you and your buddy can pretend you are Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr. to "Shake and Bake" around their awesome 8-lane track. By the same token, children are invited for hours of family fun; Magnatech Slot Car Raceway can even arrange a memorable racing birthday party for children aged six and up. Call them for special package deals for a day of fun for any sized group. Does your company want to encourage team building? How about a team racing event? Drivers, pit crews, team leaders... miniature racing teaches the same working together for success lessons that "pro" racing instills. Call the raceway now to plan and schedule your corporate event. Stop in sometime and check it out for yourself- but keep an open mind that this is something intended to be a pre-digital age entertainment. It may not be the right sort of thing for impatient or short attention span children or adults.

Great place to take the kids and take in the nostalgia. Same track I raced on when I was a kid when they were in Leon Valley.

This is Jim Honeycutt's place. I've been racing 1/24 scale cars on his tracks since the early 80's. Followed him around town since he had his place off Blanco & Jackson-Keller where I was introduced to Womp-Womp cars by a high school friend. I progressed up through NASCAR and Super 16 Flexi chassis cars. He's had his spot on Nachodoches Rd, also over in the old Malibu Grand Prix building on I-10 for a short time, and now he's in the lower level of the Wonderland of Americas Mall (formerly Wonderland Mall). Jim's made his tracks a going concern for decades and he's one of the true veterans of the late 60's slot car scene. When everyone else was bailing on the slot car business, Jim kept at it and now his tracks are an institution in the Texas and San Antonio slot car communities.Jim invented copper plated steel braid for 1/24 tracks and introduced the world to magnet racing in 1/24 scale.

Needed something indoors to do with the kids on a rainy weekday so we chose Magnatech. They all love racing games so this was the perfect little hangout. We chose the small track, which is a better choice I'd say if you have kids because of course they're going to wreck and you have to chase down their cars and reposition on the track, so its less on us adults! $4 for 10 mins of racing wasn't bad and there are other arcade games to play if you chose. The big track started at $6 if I recall correctly. The kids were excited to chose their cars and they even had Lightning McQueen and other Cars character race cars which stole the show. We pretty much had the place to ourselves but left once others came in to give them room to play. Not a bad place to spend a few hours if you enjoy model cars and racing. Check it out!..It's an inexpensive way to get the kids out and entertain them.
